Advocacy

We provide leadership on cross-cutting policy matters and give voice to critical issues that impact Alberta’s non-profit sector.

We are an active voice in local, regional, and national networks and collective action efforts to build stronger communities and a more sustainable future for the sector.

Sector Transformation

ECVO is working to inspire broad transformation in the sector, particularly towards a space of greater equity and inclusion that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

In 2021, we published a report entitled Transforming the Non-Profit Sector, which compiles shared ideas of transformation for Alberta’s non-profit sector and introduces a model for change that aims to address the questions at the heart of this work.
