Renewing Manitoba's Non-profit Strategy

Consultation has concluded

The Manitoba government is developing a new strategy to build capacity and promote sustainability in the non-profit sector that will guide future provincial investments and inform transformation in community development programs.

The overriding goals are to enable organizations across Manitoba to be sustainable and successful and ensure Manitoba's non-profit sector is best poised to deliver positive outcomes while increasing philanthropy and charitable giving.


In 2019 the Manitoba government conducted an online survey that was open to all Manitobans who have interacted with the non-profit sector within the last five years as employees, volunteers, donors, or service recipients.

    Community Forums
    The public engagement process began with a Community Forum in Winnipeg on May 9, 2019. This forum featured speakers from the non-profit sector in Manitoba and across Canada. Watch the videos.

    Two more community forums took place in the fall of 2019 in Thompson and Brandon. At these sessions, stakeholders shared stories of the impact of non-profit organizations in their communities, and their desire to partner across sectors to serve the public.

    Next Steps
    We will continue to reach out to stakeholders in the non-profit sector to inform Manitoba's Non-profit strategy. These discussions will focus on specific themes identified by stakeholders as being most important to them.
