The Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP) published insights into the charity sector’s funding stability and reserves. According to the survey research, 52% of participating charities describe their funding as somewhat predictable and secure, while only 6% feel it is very secure. Over half of charitable organizations (57%) consider themselves financially stable but with concerns, with only 12% feeling very financially stable, while 23% describe their situation as somewhat or very unstable in 2025. CICP concluded that the findings suggest that while many Canadian charities maintain a degree of stability, only a minority feel truly secure, leaving a significant portion of the sector vulnerable to the current economic volatility.
