Every day, nonprofits and their dedicated staff are at the heart of communities across Ontario. This Nonprofit Appreciation Week, let’s celebrate the incredible contributions of Ontario’s nonprofits and the vital role they play in building a vibrant, inclusive province!

02/17/2026

Nonprofits are woven into daily life. Across Ontario, nonprofits deliver essential programs that communities depend on every day. They offer recreation and wellness activities, provide shelters and mental health supports, create spaces for arts and culture, and help newcomers and families access services.

This week and beyond we celebrate nonprofits’ constant support and commitment to showing up, alongside nonprofit staff who make it all possible.
