Vantage Point has issued No Immunity: BC Nonprofits and the Impacts of COVID-19, a summary report on the impacts of COVID-19 on the province’s non-profit sector. Below, find an excerpt from the report, detailing the methodology used to compile the data:

Vantage Point, Vancouver Foundation, and the City of Vancouver came together to produce a survey to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the operations and program delivery of nonprofit organizations in BC. The survey was drafted by Vantage Point staff based on similar surveys conducted by the Ontario Nonprofit Network and SaskNoprofit, and was distributed through 4,000 Vantage Point members and newsletter recipients, Victoria area funders, the City of Vancouver, provincial health regions and some municipalities.

Leaders of BC nonprofits and charities were invited to complete the survey between April 8 and April 21, 2020. Vantage Point received 1,119 responses from across the province which equals approximately 4.3% of all nonprofits in BC. This report provides a summary of key survey results, including data that stands out based on geography, subsector, population served, and organization size.
