[Report] Addressing the Digital Skills Gap in Canadian Nonprofits: Outcomes of Prototyped Solution Pilot

This new report shares the findings from the final phase of the Futureproofing the Community Service Workforce project. In it, we tested a hands-on toolkit designed to help nonprofits strengthen their data management practices, build digital skills, and better align staff capacity to emerging needs. Developed with and tested by nonprofit partners across Canada, the prototype provides an adaptable, accessible way to take control of organizational data practices, one step at a time.Through real-world piloting, we gathered valuable insights on what works, what challenges remain, and how the nonprofit sector can move forward to close critical digital skills gaps.
