changing your worldA NEW NARRATIVE FOR THE CHARITABLE AND NONPROFIT SECTOR
We are working in partnership with others
to start a New Narrative — a conversation
with Canadians about our sector — who we
are, what we do and how we are making
a difference. While our organizations are
trusted and generously supported, we
know we can do a better job explaining
our role and contributions.

Advancing the Conversation PHASE 4:
Collectively, the non-profit sector in BC has a tremendous story to tell!
We want to hear from you! Our survey
will arrive by mail soon. Complete the survey to share your
thoughts and add your stories. We will use the results from the

diversity of the non-profit sector in BC. By participating in the

Admail Outreach PHASE 4:
• Targeted outreach
• Follow-up with leaders from each of the sectors (electronically to encourage participation)
• Surveys colour-coded to allow for analysis by sector
• Combine with the results of the community conversations and regional analysis to create the Sector Impact Report
This project is a good example where the sum of the parts contributed to the whole.
For this, we would like to thank a number of people for their faith in the project and
their contribution to the outcome.
