Muttart Foundation

This Pre-Budget submission by CCVO, ECVO, Volunteer Alberta and The Muttart Foundation called for the Provincial government to:

1. Maintain funding levels for community based organizations
2. Earmark infrastructure spending for community projects
3. Continue to support programs and policies that stimulate charitable giving
4. Continued support for the Alberta Voluntary/Nonprofit Sector Initiative (ANVSI)

A Joint Submission to the provincial government, endorsed by 160 nonprofits and prepared by the Muttart Foundation.

This report outlined the negative impact Bill 1 (the Lobbyists Act) would have on the voluntary sector, and asked for an exemption for the sector from the law, as it would add immense administrative burdens, hinder collaboration, and cut off government access to community groups and organizations.
