The report examines how the rise of the “anti-woke” agenda is reversing the modest gains previously made toward racial equity through DEI initiatives. It also underscores the cultural conditions within today’s non-profit sector that continue to impact Black fundraisers who work in Predominantly White Institutions. This is a must-read for everybody in the non-profit sector, private sector, and government.

The study shares insights into Generation Z (ages 18 to 26), Late Millennial (ages 27 to 33), and Early Millennial (ages 34 to 42) attitudes about generosity and how they use digital platforms to enable generosity.

AgentsC has undertaken an extensive research project to study relatively ignored questions in the fundraising community: what motivates African philanthropists to give to charitable causes? And what can be learned from the unique motivations driving the culture of ubuntu within Africa?  

We recognised the need to explore giving attitudes and behaviours on the continent, to better understand the dynamics of formalised African philanthropy.

This report provides readers with the high-level findings made during AgentsC’s administration and analysis of its survey on the non-profit industry's response to the COVID-19 crisis.

During the month of April 2020, AgentsC designed and published a survey with the goal of understanding how Canadians working in the non-profit sector, within fundraising operations in particular, have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

In this second report, we outline the single most important trend found within these data: the handling of risk management and business continuity strategies by non-profit organizations during the COVID-19 era and its relationship to fundraising.    

• We were curious about what was happening in the sector

• We aimed to provide a platform for a diversity of perspectives

• We were surprised by what we found...

In this snapshot, we focus on the perspectives of Black employees and volunteers within Canadian non-profit organizations as data on their experiences are scarce.
