The 2026 State of BC's Non-Profit Sector Survey is now open until Friday, June 19!

This annual survey captures the current realities facing non-profits across British Columbia: revenues, expenses, programs and services, human resources, operations, and governance. The findings generate credible, sector-wide evidence that supports decision-making by non-profits, funders, governments, and policy leaders, and grounds advocacy in data. Past survey findings have helped strengthen sector conversations with government, and contributed to non-profit supports such as the Recovery and Resiliency Grants. Results will be shared in the fall of 2026.

Why should BC non-profits complete this survey?

Influence decisions by funders, government, and policy leaders
Strengthen sector-wide advocacy with credible evidence
Contribute to trend data that tracks how the sector is faring over time
Win a Vantage Point workshop, lab, or a $200 gift card of your choice
In this final week before the survey closes, Vantage Point invites all CEOs, Executive Directors, or designated senior staff with organization-wide knowledge to complete this survey and be part of our sector’s story to advocate for change in the year ahead.

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes and is open until Friday, June 19, 2026.

Take the Survey Now >> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SOTS2026

To show appreciation, after completing you can enter for a chance to win a Vantage Point workshop, lab, or gift card!
