Impact of the Nonprofit Sector
The nonprofit sector in Ontario contributes 7.9 % to the province’s GDP, translating to about $65.4 billion in economic output.
​
There are close to 1,000 nonprofits in Halton, supporting community health, creating opportunities through sport, recreation and culture, protecting our environment, welcoming newcomers, and supporting the well-being of residents from all walks.
More than 80% of nonprofits in Halton reported
an increase in demand for their services, around 59% report being somewhat or completely unable to meet this demand.

Our work so far...

Meeting with elected officials
Coalition efforts started by communicating with local elected officials regarding the concerns of Halton nonprofits. This includes Members of Parliament & Members of Provincial Parliament. Meetings were held where coalition members and politicians discussed the need for stable funding, pressure points, and success stories in the nonprofit sector.

Formalization of the group
In an effort to formalize the work of the coalition, members decided to write a Terms of Reference. A steering committee called the Leadership team was put together with interest from leaders in different areas of the nonprofit field. The Terms of Reference was formally agreed upon by the Leadership team.

You're invited to our first event!
The Ontario Non-profit Network (ONN) releases their data every Fall on the State of the Sector of Non-profits in the province. Last year, a State of the Sector event was held in Halton by Community Development Halton. This event launched the group that eventually formalize and emerge as Impact Halton Coalition.
​
This year, we are bringing people together to Celebrate the Sector, where we will share important new data, provide information about Impact Halton Coalition, hear stories of impact, and have conversations aimed at strengthening and communicating our impact, together. We want you to join us in this important conversation.
