Canadians have historically risen to charitable funding challenges by donating their money and time to help alleviate suffering both at home and abroad. According to the 2004 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP), more than 22 million Canadians made a financial donation to charitable or nonprofit organizations. Donations for that year approached $8.9 billion.
But for all the goodwill and munificence mustered up by individuals, corporations and governments, there is an ever-expanding list of disasters, diseases and causes that need your help. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, famine, cancer, homelessness, the environment...the catalogue of charities in need of funding is seemingly endless.
