Home in Government, with Zahra Esmail

Image of Zahra EsmailWhile our sector has several touchpoints with the federal government, no ministry or department is responsible for improving the nonprofit sector's policy environment or economic landscape. At the provincial level, however, such models exist. For example, in 2020, leaders in British Columbia created a place inside the machinery of government to support charities and nonprofits with the appointment of its first-ever Parliamentary Secretary - Community Development and Nonprofits. In this episode, we are exploring the concept of a ‘home in government’ with our guest, Zahra Esmail, CEO of Vantage Point in Vancouver.

What do Canadians think of charities and nonprofits?

For the past year and a half, our team has been working on a public awareness campaign set to launch this Fall. To inform the campaign strategy, we conducted research to understand the perceptions of Canadians regarding nonprofits and charities. As we prepare to launch the campaign, we’re sharing key findings from this market research so that others in the sector can benefit from this insightful information and leverage it for their own needs.
