Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating

The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP) provides the most comprehensive overview of the contributions of time and money Canadians make to nonprofit and charitable organizations and to each other. Conducted in 1997, 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2010, the CSGVP surveyed a random sample of Canadians on how they: 

• Gave money and other resources to charitable and nonprofit organizations;
• Volunteered time for charitable and voluntary organizations and for individuals directly; and
• Participated in organizations by becoming members.
