State of the Sector Survey 2025 |
Introduction
Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS) is conducting the State of the Sector Survey 2025 to collect data on critical issues facing the Community Impact Sector in Nova Scotia. Collecting current data on the workforce and labour market, operations and finances, governance, and social impact of the Community Impact Sector will deepen our collective understanding of trends and emerging priorities. The data informs the decision-making of sector leaders, policy makers, post-secondary institutions, and others involved in the Community Impact Sector. Your participation and your organization's information is very important!
Your responses are completely confidential. No information on individual organizations will be made public. All data in the report will be combined with that of other respondents to ensure confidentiality. A report on the findings will be available later in 2025.
For most organizations the Executive Director/CEO (or equivalent) will be the best person to complete the survey, but in other cases it may be best completed by another senior employee or the Board Chair (or equivalent).
Your information will be saved automatically as you proceed through the survey, but the survey needs to be completed in one sitting. You cannot save and return to the survey at a later time or date.
