A report from Carleton University on charity spending, priorities, and pressures was recently brought to our attention by Imagine Canada. In it, the following points seem to have stood out:
Respondents estimated that 47% of their budgets go to salaries and benefits on average
44% of respondents indicated that they anticipate needing to increase salaries and benefits more than any other spending in the coming year
59% say salaries and benefits are underfunded
Given extra funds, 44% would boost staff pay
You can read the full report from the Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP) here.
