Community Sector Pre-Budget Survey

The Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador (CSCNL) invites organizations across the province to share their insights on the challenges and opportunities facing the community sector. We recognize that needs and challenges vary by location, mandate, and organizational size, and understanding these differences helps identify shared priorities and practical solutions.

This survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help CSCNL build a clear picture of the sector and inform advocacy efforts, policy development, supports, and a pre-budget submission CSCNL intends to prepare. All responses are strictly confidential and will be reported only in aggregate, ensuring that individual organizations cannot be identified. A summary of the survey findings will be posted on the CSCNL website once the survey is complete. By participating, you help ensure your perspective shapes the future of Newfoundland and Labrador’s community sector.
