Navigating New Horizons: The Contributions and Perspectives of Multicultural Canadians

The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) is pleased to support new research from Imagine Canada that examines the levels of giving among Canada’s six largest minority groups, the causes they support, their motivations for donating, and the factors that may limit their contributions.  

Conducted online in early 2024, the survey polled residents of Canada from South Asian, Chinese, Afro-Caribbean/African, Filipino, Arab, and West Asian backgrounds, and found that many are motivated by the desire to help others, but various barriers – including financial constraints and feelings of exclusion – impact their ability to contribute more. This report builds on an early study undertaken by Imagine Canada in 2020. A second report will be released in early 2025. 

For the purposes of this study, multicultural Canadians are defined as people from visible minority groups who are either non-permanent residents, permanent residents, naturalized citizens or Canadian-born, have significant potential as contributors to the non-profit sector.
