BC's Non-Profit Sector Impact

Impact of the Non-profit Sector Infographic

Vantage Point’s Sector Narrative working group developed an infographic to create a clear picture of the size, scope, and impact of the non-profit sector.

Our goal is to inform government of the importance of the sector, and the immense value that non-profits bring to the economy and lives of people in British Columbia.

For Non-profits

We encourage non-profits to make use of this infographic to support their discussions with government, partners, and their broader networks. Below you will find the infographic available for download.

For Government

We are calling on government to recognize the crucial role non-profits play in BC. Non-profits address some of the most critical challenges of our time and are vital to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the time to partner with and invest in the non-profit sector.
