Sector Research

CIO Council of Canada; works with nonprofit groups to build digital resilience in the nonprofit sector
Charity Insights Canada Project - data collection initiative launching in 2022. Collaboration between academia and a bunch of foundations to gather 'real-time' data (aka surveys) with NPO stakeholders
Note that one of the researchers has NPO finance expertise; might be an interesting contact in future
Katie Gibson (at CIO Canada) is a interesting person to reach out to, once we have a strategy in mind; see her article on NPO digital transformation here
