Canadians with children more likely to rely on charities, non-profits: survey
Two out of five Canadians said they relied on the service of a charity or a non-profit in the last 12 months, an Ipsos survey conducted for the RBC found on Tuesday.
A recent Ipsos survey commissioned by the Royal Bank of Canada reveals that one in two Canadians with children rely on charities or non-profits at least once in the past 12 months, compared to just under one in three Canadians without children. The survey found that Canadians who utilize these services are most likely to seek assistance from healthcare organizations (68%), followed by food charities (26%) and education services (15%).
Among the various sectors, charities and non-profits working in healthcare, housing, social programming, employment, professional/skill development, and cultural or recreational programming were also sought after. Among those who used these services, 79% of Canadians reported an occasional need for support, while 21% indicated a regular reliance on charities or non-profits.
The survey also noted that the type of service Canadians rely on varies with age. Younger Canadians, particularly Gen Z, were found to be the most frequent users of charities, with 44% having utilized these services in the last year.
