The Canadian Centre for Nonprofit Digital Resilience, in partnership with the dais, Blueprint, the Digital Governance Council, Imagine Canada, and the Toronto Metropolitan University, released Canada’s Nonprofit Tech Workforce Report. The nonprofit sector struggles to keep pace with the increase in demand for digital skills, with many nonprofits already noting that they lack the skills to leverage existing technology. As Canada continues to digitize, nonprofits will need to embrace digital transformation and upskill their workforce. The Canadian Centre for Nonprofit Digital Resilience sought to understand the current level of digital skills present in the nonprofit sector by analyzing Canadian census data to evaluate the size and composition of the tech workforce within the sector. 

Key Findings from the Report

• Nonprofits have a shortage of tech workers, with less than 1% of their workforce in tech occupations, compared to an average of 5% in other industries.
• Tech workers in the nonprofit sector earn significantly less, with an average annual salary of over $30,000 less than tech workers in other industries, representing a 33% pay cut.
• Even for the same job, tech workers in nonprofits earn substantially less, with information system specialists earning 20% less in nonprofits compared to other sectors.
• The nonprofit tech workforce is more diverse in terms of gender and Indigenous identity, but women, Indigenous Peoples, and visible minorities are paid less for tech work compared to other workers within nonprofits.
