Survey Says: CharityVillage� unpacks findings from the 2010 CGVSP: Statistics Canada released the results of its 2010 Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP) last Wednesday.
Released every three years, this iteration again provides some intriguing updates to how much (and how many) Canadians are giving back to their communities.
Here's the first number on StatCan's list: 24 million.
That represents the number of Canadians who made donations to charities in 2010.
Think about that. That's close to 84% of Canadians who took time to fish into their wallets or purses and shell out some cash for a cause. It also represents a total of $10.6 billion donated in 2010. However, the survey notes that both the percentage of the population donating and the total amount of donations remained virtually unchanged from 2007, with the average donation in 2010 at $446.
