Our Work

The Calgary Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (CCVO) was established in 2004 to strengthen individual nonprofit organizations and the sector generally, by building capacity and addressing the larger systemic issues that can ultimately help or hinder their missions.

To this end, CCVO works to provide leadership on issues broadly affecting the nonprofit/voluntary sector. We work collaboratively, building connections with and within the sector. We contribute to a cohesive voice for the sector by inspiring dialogue, participating in public policy, and promoting the value of the nonprofit/voluntary sector with government, business and the public. And we build capacity within the sector by undertaking research, publishing information, sharing tools and resources, and developing skills and knowledge.
