Posted on 15. Oct, 2010 by admin in Reports, SPT News

Social Planning Toronto is pleased to announce the release of a new report entitled, “Footprint on the City: A Portrait of the City-Wide Agency Network and Toronto Neighbourhood Centres”. The report, prepared in collaboration with the Toronto Neighbourhood Centres (TNC) and the City-Wide Agency Network, is based on survey findings collected in early 2009. The purpose of the survey was two-fold: first, to provide both TNC and the City?Wide Agency Network with an updated collective “footprint” of their respective member agencies (i.e. geographic service areas, number of service locations throughout the city, number of individuals served, types programs and services offered, sources of funding, etc.) – important and useful information for conversations with funders, government, and the broader public. The second purpose was to provide current Toronto information regarding employment practices and human resource policies, particularly in the area of employee benefits, for member organizations of the two groups. A total of 10 organizations representing the City-Wide Agency Network and 18 organizations representing the Toronto Neighbourhood Centres responded to our survey. Detailed summaries on the key survey findings for both groups are provided in the report, however, combining select figures gathered from these 28 organizations we found:

Operating budgets totalling $459,950,498 (2009 figures).
A total of 304 community programs and services offered to residents, operating out of 466 offices across the city (2009 figures).
A total of 8,970 employees and 17,638 volunteers and student interns (2008 figures).
