Everyone experiences stress at some point or another. In fact, 27 percent of Canadian workers report being “highly stressed” on a day-to-day basis, while an additional 46 percent report feeling “a bit” stressed
The digital age is dramatically changing the world in which we live, and CNPOs are not immune. While limited budgets make it difficult to keep up with digital trends, organizations must do what they can to address the technological needs of their staff, members, donors and volunteers if they hope to remain relevant in this new era.
Regardless of service, sector or mandate, chances are—if you look closely at any charity or not-for-profit’s list of beneficiaries—you’ll find individuals of different genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities and age groups.
The charity and not-for-profit (CNPO) sectors are changing at a breakneck pace, not just in Canada but around the world.
