Navigating Political Uncertainty: Tips for Charities and Non-Profits

Writer: Jesse ClarkeJesse Clarke

As the political landscape in Canada continues to shift, non-profits must stay informed and adaptable. The recent breakdown of the Liberal-NDP supply & confidence agreement means the current Liberal minority government will need to negotiate support with opposition parties for confidence motions on a case-by-case basis. This uncertain environment presents both challenges and opportunities for non-profits as they navigate their government relations strategy.


Key Impacts on Non-Profits

The collapse of the agreement means that the Liberal Party can no longer rely on the NDP to pass critical confidence motions, which increases the likelihood of an election being called sooner rather than later. For non-profits and charities, this means paying close attention to shifts in party dynamics and planning for multiple potential political scenarios.


Adapting Your Government Relations Strategy

Non-profits must remain agile in their approach. With the prospect of an election becoming more likely, organizations should:

- Stay informed: Keep track of the political environment, potential election dates, and changes in party leadership or priorities.

- Engage with decision-makers: Even in uncertain times, there are opportunities to build relationships with MPs and opposition critics who may have influence over future decisions.

- Prepare for different outcomes: Create strategies that account for different political outcomes, such as a Conservative win, a Liberal majority, or continued minority rule.


By staying prepared and informed, non-profits can navigate these uncertain political times with confidence and continue to advocate effectively for their causes.
