Not sure how many people have an hour to hear me discuss with Mary Barroll, President of CharityVillage, issues facing the Canadian non-profit and charity sector. For those who are interested in the sector and its future, it may be worthwhile. I try to provide an unvarnished view of the sector and its challenges, especially relating to transparency and accountability and recent scandals. The charity sector can accept increasing low levels of public trust or it can work to avoid that. It can accept umbrella organizations that are ineffectual in achieving beneficial public policy (or uninterested in such public policy) or it can just accept the status quo.

Watch our full interview with Mark Blumberg from Blumbergs Professional Corporation, recorded for the 13th episode of CharityVillage Connects, our new podcast exploring issues of importance to Canadian nonprofits and charities. Buffeted on all sides from seemingly endless waves of controversies and challenges, nonprofit leadership in Canada finds itself increasingly under the microscope. Public trust in the sector has reached new lows in recent years, and, with donations in decline and as the sector grapples with issues around transparency, accountability, and the lack of diversity at the highest levels, we’re asking: Is it time for a leadership refresh in the nonprofit sector?
Tune in to CharityVillage Connects to find out.
