Episode 22 – Dissatisfied and disillusioned: Nonprofit professionals are unhappy at work

A new report has highlighted a disturbing and perhaps surprising finding: Job satisfaction in the nonprofit sector appears to be lower than in either the private or public sector. In a sector that focuses on meaningful work, what is driving a significant number of workers to feel dissatisfied? And what does this mean for the future given the existing talent crunch and the need for recruiting younger demographics to work in the sector? In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, listen to sector experts weigh in on this concerning trend and what might be done to turn it around.

In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we take a hard look at the evolving nature of philanthropy and the changing role of foundations in Canada, both public and private, and how they collectively manage over $120 billion in assets. Recent research shows that many Canadians – including those within the sector itself – do not really understand how charitable foundations work, how many billions in assets they are sitting on, and how decisions are made as to who does – and doesn’t – get funding. Is it time for a shakeup in how we approach philanthropy in Canada? Tune into CharityVillage Connects to find out.

A perfect storm is threatening the very foundation of Canada’s nonprofit sector. A severe shortage of volunteers has led to the cancellation and suspension of critical programming and services across Canada and, in some cases, the closure of entire organizations. In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we explore why so many volunteers simply didn’t return post-pandemic, how current trends are impacting volunteerism in Canada, and what organizations can do to recruit new volunteers and retain those they already have. Can this looming crisis be averted? Hear sector experts weigh in on this critical issue in our latest episode.

Buffeted on all sides from seemingly endless waves of controversies and challenges, nonprofit leadership in Canada finds itself increasingly under the microscope. Public trust in the sector has reached new lows in recent years, and, with donations in decline and as the sector grapples with issues around transparency, accountability, and the lack of diversity at the highest levels, we’re asking: Is it time for a leadership refresh in the nonprofit sector? Tune into CharityVillage Connects to find out.

Due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic and global movements such as Black Lives Matter, recent years have seen a heightened awareness of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion – within society generally, and especially within the workplace. But are Canadian nonprofit organizations ready to take the next step in their diversity, equity, and inclusion journey? And what tools and resources are available to help them make meaningful change? In this episode, we’ll explore best practices and new strategies for making a positive and lasting impact in the sector, along with practical steps that nonprofits of any size will find useful.

For years, many nonprofit leaders have been calling for better representation within the federal government. The hope is for a sector that has as great an impact on government policies as it does on the people and causes it serves. In this episode, we delve into the campaign for a federal “Home in Government” for the charitable sector and how, if successful, this could improve nonprofits' influence on policy that affects them directly and indirectly. We’ll also hear from the first Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development and Non-Profits in British Columbia to find out more about her work, and how a Home in Government actually looks in practice.

In this episode, upon the first anniversary of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’ll hear unique perspectives from Indigenous leaders from across Canada on what September 30 means to them, the painful legacy it symbolizes, and how, together, we can hopefully move forward. Underlying these discussions is the role that Canadian nonprofits can play in supporting Indigenous-led charitable activities. Considering that The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was established over 14 years ago, why has the sector failed to take a more meaningful role in an area where its support could make a real difference? Tune in to this special episode of CharityVillage Connects to hear from Indigenous leaders about how the nonprofit sector can better support, and ally with, Indigenous-led organizations and communities.
