As Endeavour volunteer consulting teams work with non-profits during this economic downturn, we thought it would be of interest and value to feature Trillium Foundation’s recently released study on the challenges and opportunities for Ontario’s non-profit sector during tough economic times.

In January 2009, the Ontario Trillium Foundation reached out to 110 of its grantee organizations to take a snapshot of their experiences during the early phases of the economic downturn, and turned to a number of community and province-wide funding organizations as well as community leaders.

Some of the questions the study addresses include:

• What is happening in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector as the Canadian economy slides into recession?
• What are the challenges and opportunities presented in difficult economic time? 
• What pressures are they feeling?
• What plans are they putting in place to support the organizations they fund?
• How are they coping with reduced income streams?
