On-line Resources for Management of Canadian Not-for-profit and Charitable Organizations

There are many challenges facing the not-for-profit and charitable sector today. In addition to tackling key issues like volunteer recruitment and retention and volunteer leadership, many not-for-profit and charitable organizations also face unique management challenges in their efforts to achieve success.

Managing finances, having solid procedures, processes and defined responsibilities helps make these organizations more accountable to their communities and as a funder of this sector, the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) seeks to support the needs of these organizations whenever possible.

The following on-line resource links are provided to inform not-for-profit and charitable organizations on a range of management topics.
