T he Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario Office of the Premier Queen’s Park Toronto, ON, M7A 1A1 By email: premier@ontario.ca RE: Ontario’s nonprofit sector is at a tipping point October 18, 2023 Dear Premier Ford, O n behalf of the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN), I am writing to you to share the stark results of our annual State of the Ontario Nonprofit Sector Survey. [...] From Thunder Bay to Barrie, Windsor to London, and across the GTA to Kanata, the nonprofit sector plays an essential role in job creation, volunteer engagement, and providing programs and services that support the well-being of Ontarians. [...] A collapse of the nonprofit sector will impact every Ontarian who avails of the supports and programs made possible by the sector, in communities across the province. [...] ● The HR crisis continues, and is driven by a lack of sustainable funding that is impacting the retention and recruitment of staff across the sector, with two-thirds of the sector reporting staffing challenges ● Nonprofit closure reports are increasing, with 35% of organizations reporting that they know of another similar nonprofit closing. [...] Now is the time for all of us to come to the table and mitigate the looming collapse.
