Canadian community-builders are needed today more than ever

They keep important services running. They speak up on behalf of others. They volunteer their time. They donate their own money. This active group forms Canada’s civic core. And there aren’t as many of them as there used to be.

Did you know that 18% of Canadians are responsible for 80% of donations?

Or, that 9% of Canadians take care of 80% of the volunteer work that is so critical to our communities?

Demand for charitable services is going up as the Canadian population ages. This is happening at the same time that volunteering and giving are declining.

We need to address this imbalance. The29to42 campaign involves a three-part response that supports remarkable work already being done in communities across Canada.

Speak up and change the system.

Donate and change the numbers.

Volunteer and change your actions.
