CharityVillage.com (established in 1995) is a resource website for people involved in Canada's nonprofit sector.[2] Online since 1995,[3] the site was one of the earliest web-based resources for nonprofit staffers and volunteers. As of 2010, it had more than 3,000 pages of nonprofit news, resources, how-to articles, training, and funding sources.[4] It also offers hundreds of job, volunteer and event listings, all related to Canada's nonprofit sector.[5][6][7]
The site launched on July 13, 1995, with about 100 pages of content.[10] One of the earliest websites to focus on servicing the nonprofit sector, CharityVillage.com quickly became a resource hub for people involved in the sector across Canada.
In October 2005, the site launched CharityVillage Campus, the first new paid service offered since its launch. Campus is a series of self-paced, web-based training courses in fundraising and nonprofit management. By that time, the website became a valuable source of career ads for the Canadian non-profit sector.[11]
From the beginning, the site has focused on providing free resources to help nonprofit staffers and volunteers build their skills and connect with one another. Resources include original research articles and interviews, brief news items, links to nonprofits, funding sources, and other nonprofit-related resources and websites. Site users can post job, volunteer and event listings.
The site is self-sustaining through recruitment and supplier advertising revenue.
In March 2011, the website published its first Canadian Nonprofit Sector Salary Report,[12] which went on to become an annual report.[13]
In 2012 the website was relaunched on a new technological platform.[14] In August 2015, Charity Village owners acquired TalentEgg.ca, a career website.[15]
The site offers three free e-letter publications:
