2021 Trends with Ottawa’s Sector Leaders
We all know that status quo is no longer an option as our organizations adjust to our new realities. According to Imagine Canada, Canadian charities have seen a 30.6% decline in revenue since the onset of the pandemic, with 69% reporting decreased revenues, and 30% of organizations having to lay off staff. The charitable sector could experience financial losses between $4.2 billion and $6.3 billion. It’s not all bad, though! We’ve also seen generous donors step up to the plate in a time of crisis, and many of our organizations have adapted and thrived this past year.
Your Chapter President, Teresa Marques (Rideau Hall Foundation) will be speaking with Ottawa’s top charity leaders to discuss these alarming statistics and more. Join us to learn from their organizations’ successes and failures as we head into 2021!
