The Ontario Nonprofit Network has launched the results from their annual state of the sector survey.
Over 1,000 nonprofits, charities, and grassroots organizations across Ontario responded, and the data
shows the nonprofit sector is experiencing stagnant and declining financial resources amidst climbing demand.
Against all odds, nonprofits remain steadfast in their determination and are hopeful that at
some point, they will be adequately resourced to fulfill their missions. This duality of hope and
despair is reflected in the fact that this year 45% of survey respondents reported feeling
overwhelmed, and 41% reported feeling optimistic at this current moment.
A few data highlights: ● 39% of respondents assessed themselves at significant risk (ranked at a 5 or above) for not existing in the next three years. ● 83% of respondents saw an increase in demand for programs and services, a seven percent increase over 2023. ● 54% of respondents reported stagnant and declining revenue while 84 per cent reported increase in expenses. ● 31% of respondents reported using their reserve funds, almost mirroring pandemic-era levels. Report resources: ● ONN will be hosting a free webinar to discuss how the sector can use this data in their provincial advocacy efforts. ● Survey report with policy recommendations. (French report coming soon.) ● Technical report (English and French) with data highlights. ● Datasets 2021-2024.
