A widespread lack of sufficient funding means that BC’s non-profit sector is at a critical point. We’ve joined over 200 non-profit leaders in calling for immediate action.
“We need your [funders] help to stabilize and sustain our sector:
Provide core, multi-year, unrestricted funding. Invest in organizational stability, not just one-off pilot projects and guarantee that funding keeps up with the cost of living.
Reduce administrative burdens while providing transparency to applicants. Simplify applications and reporting, and ensure grantmaking is transparent, fair, and ethical, so we can focus on delivering programs rather than paperwork.
Invest in the nonprofit workforce. Ensure funding enables a living wage, benefits, and professional development.”
“In August 2025, Service Canada discovered that some people’s monthly CDB payments had been miscalculated. If your CDB application was approved by June 30, the working income exemption may not have been applied to your calculation, meaning that the first payment you received might be below your entitlement, or you did not receive a payment at all.
If you are affected by this issue, you will receive a letter from Service Canada in the mail notifying you of the miscalculation. If you receive this letter, you do not need to file a Request for Reconsideration. Service Canada will automatically recalculate your benefit amount to see if you may be entitled to a higher payment.
Once Service Canada has completed the recalculation, you will receive a second letter confirming your revised monthly benefit amount. You will also receive any money owed to you from the months you were approved for the CDB. Your monthly payment will remain the same until the recalculation is complete.
