State of the Canadian Web Nation: How does your charity measure up?
State of the Canadian Web Nation: How does your charity measure up?
A webinar by Holly Wagg & Fraser Green from Good Works for CanadaHelps, November 2014. Nearly a year ago, we decided we simply couldn’t work with unreliable or incomplete statistics, and that you shouldn’t have to either. So Good Works and Envision Online Media decided to poll Canadian charities to get a better sense of what the state of the web nation actually is. Early in 2014, over 500 Canadian charities took the survey where we asked them about everything from website strategy and revenue tracking to metrics and digital fundraising activities. We’ve crunched numbers, looked at the data while standing on our heads, and we’re pleased to share with you the findings. This report – the first of its kind – sets the benchmarks for the performance of Canadian charity websites across 26 domains. This webinar hosted by CanadaHelps walks you through the high level findings, why this matters for your bottom line, and gives you access to the full report including data tables.
