Standards - Imagine Canada Accreditation

Empowering nonprofit leaders to improve accountability and performance at their organizations

Canada's most widely recognized nonprofit standards provide best practices that help organizations strengthen governance and operations.

The standards leverage the wisdom and expertise of the nonprofit sector in topics like board governance, financial accountability and transparency, fundraising, human resources, and volunteer involvement.

Any organization can improve its practices with these standards, or bring their achievement to the next level by earning accreditation through an independent peer review process.

Who is Accredited
