National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 1997 [Canada]: Giving File

National Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating (NSGVP) which was undertaken to better understand how Canadians support individuals and communities on their own or through their involvement with charitable and nonprofit organizations. The NSGVP was conducted as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey in November 1997. For this survey, thousands of Canadians aged 15 and over were asked how they: gave money and other resources to individuals and to organizations; volunteered time to help others and to enhance their communities; and participated in the practices which help give substance to active citizenship. The results from this survey allow this report to tell a story about who Canada's volunteers, charitable donors and civic participators are and the ways in which they contribute to our society.

全国捐赠、志愿服务与参与调查（National Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating，NSGVP）旨在深入了解加拿大人如何以个人名义，或通过参与慈善与非营利组织的活动，为个人与社区提供支持。该调查于1997年11月作为加拿大劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey）的补充项目开展。本次调查面向数千名15岁及以上的加拿大人，询问其向个人与组织捐赠资金及其他资源、志愿投入时间帮助他人并助力社区发展，以及参与旨在夯实积极公民身份建设的各类实践活动的情况。本次调查的结果为本次报告提供了数据支撑，得以勾勒出加拿大志愿者、慈善捐赠者与公民参与者的群体画像，并阐明其为社会贡献力量的具体路径。
