The purpose of this crowdsourcing questionnaire is to better understand who serves on the boards of charities and non-profits. In addition to collecting information about the diversity of board members, we explore topics such as what organizations do, who they serve, and where they are located.
This information will help non-profits and charities better understand how their board compares to those of similar organizations. Data may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
Anybody involved in the governance of a charity or non-profit organization can complete the questionnaire. Although voluntary, your participation is important so that the information collected is as accurate and complete as possible.
