Diversity Is Our Strength: Improving Working Conditions in Canadian Nonprofits

This report demonstrates what the sector has long known but not had the data to prove: our workforce is incredibly diverse but undervalued. 77% of nonprofit workers are women, 47% immigrants and 35% Indigenous and racialized people.
