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.

Read the open letter, coordinated by the BC Society for Policy Solutions, here: https://bcpolicy.ca/2025/09/11/funding-crisis/

What the sector is asking:

“We need your [funders] help to stabilize and sustain our sector:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Invest in the nonprofit workforce. Ensure funding enables a living wage, benefits, and professional development.”
