CaNDL is the future of nonprofit data

We’re building a data lab for the nonprofit sector.

The Canadian Nonprofit Data Lab (CaNDL) is a partnership between Imagine Canada, DARO and Carleton University to create national data infrastructure to provide access to timely, relevant data and insights.

The Data Lab creates infrastructure to:

BUILD CAPACITY

STEWARD PARTNERSHIPS

PROVIDE ADVOCACY INSIGHTS

ENABLE INNOVATION

Who We Are

Imagine Canada is a national bilingual, charitable organization whose cause is Canada's charities and nonprofits. Their mission is to strengthen and support Canadian charities and nonprofits so they may better serve and engage individuals and communities here and around the world.

DARO (formerly Ajah) is a social enterprise based in Montreal, Canada, that works with governments, nonprofits, and funders to design strategies that increase the availability and utility of their data. Their work is focused on applying their unique combination of expertise - in technology, governance, and the nonprofit sector - to solve systemic problems, build long-term solutions, and develop sustainable governance frameworks.

Carleton University is an English-language public research university in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Carleton University is the academic partner on this project, connecting the CaNDL to both the academic and applied research communities. Its Masters of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership (MPNL) program is a primary provider of graduate education in nonprofit studies in Canada.
