The report highlights the non-profit sector’s impact, current challenges, priorities over the past year by combining Alberta Nonprofit Data Strategy’s previous work with other recent analyses on the sector. It also provides resources that can help non-profits in the future.

Focusing on four key areas, the report highlights:

  1. Alberta’s social profit, which emphasizes measuring success by looking at the positive effects non-profits have on society instead of just focusing on financial metrics.
  2. The maze of challenges Albertans and the non-profits serving them face due to the recent difficulties around the cost of living.
  3. How strengthening the non-profit sector can occur by enacting priorities that will overcome the maze of challenges.
  4.  The data-oriented initiatives PolicyWise for Children & Families leads that support non-profits on their data journeys.
