Caring Canadians, involved Canadians: highlights from the National Surveys
of Giving, Volunteering and Participating
Abstract
This report offers highlights from the National Survey of Giving, Volunteering,
and Participating (NSGVP) which was undertaken to better understand how Canadians
support individuals and communities on their own or through their involvement
with charitable and nonprofit organizations. The NSGVP was conducted as a supplement
to the Labour Force Survey in November 2000. For this survey, thousands of Canadians
aged 15 and over were asked how they: gave money and other resources to individuals
and to organizations; volunteered time to help others and to enhance their communities;
and participated in the practices which help give substance to active citizenship.
The results from this survey allow this report to tell a story about who Canada's
volunteers, charitable donors and civic participators are and the ways in which
they contribute to our society.
