2004 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating - Custom Tabulations
This service provides custom tabulations for the 2004 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP). The CSGVP was developed through a partnership of federal government departments and voluntary sector organizations. These include Canadian Heritage, Health Canada, Human Resources and Social Development Canada, Imagine Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Statistics Canada and Volunteer Canada. The purpose of the survey was to better understand how Canadians support individuals and communities on their own or through their involvement with charitable and nonprofit organizations. Survey respondents were asked how they gave money and other resources to organizations; volunteered time to help others and to enhance their communities; and participated in practices which help give substance to active citizenship.
The target population for the survey was residents of the ten Canadian provinces and three territories, 15 years of age and older, excluding full-time residents of institutions.
The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating is the latest iteration of a series of surveys that began with the National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating. It was conducted by Statistics Canada in 1997 as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey, and was repeated in the fall of 2000.
In 2001, the federal government provided funding to establish a permanent survey program within Statistics Canada on charitable giving, volunteering and participating. The survey itself was renamed the Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP).
Because the 2004 CSGVP employs a different survey approach and because it uses a somewhat different questionnaire than did the previous surveys, it is not appropriate to compare results from the 2004 CSGVP with the two previous surveys.
