Local nonprofits and charities are close to our heart, here at Queenswood. They come here for their planning & training work, and their staff come to Queenswood wellness retreats. We're hearing firsthand that some local nonprofit organizations are worried about whether they can make it thorugh 2010.
The Vancouver Foundation recently released a report on BC's nonprofits and charities. It notes that in many ways, what we've been through the last year is similar to having a hurricane plow through our community.
Their survey found that despite the Bank of Canada reports that the recession is easing, the sad fact is that the challenges to our communities are not over. And for the charities that serve those communities, this is especially true. Their conclusion: today, every bit of support, large or small, matters even more!
