Membership Benefits

Joining CCVO is a unique opportunity to contribute your organization's voice and financial support to an organization dedicated to strengthening the local voluntary sector.

The support and participation of our members enables us to do essential work - research, professional development, and building opportunities for dialogue across the voluntary sector as well as with government and the private sector. This work will contribute to greater understanding and awareness of the voluntary sector and what it contributes to our community.

CCVO members have access to a number of benefits:
