Vantage Point published a new policy paper, Funding What Works: Strengthening BC’s Non-Profit Sector Through Multi-Year and Core Funding, which was developed to support Vantage Point’s continued collective advocacy. The paper builds on the priorities and experiences shared by nonprofit leaders across British Columbia and strengthens the case for meaningful funding policy change.
The BC Non-Profit Network identified two key policy recommendations to help address the challenges identified, improve service and program stability, and drive long-term community impact:
- Expand multi-year funding agreements.
- Recognize and resource administrative and core operating costs.
The policy recommendations have strong support across the sector and levels of government. According to Vantage Point, these recommendations are solution-oriented, aiming to help address structural issues affecting the outcomes of the sector as a whole. The paper provides essential background on the current nonprofit funding landscape, examines the evidence for expanding multi-year funding, and makes the case for recognizing and resourcing administrative capacity and core expenses. Vantage Point outlines practical implementation options that governments and funders can adopt to better support the sustainability and impact of nonprofits.
