National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations

Question

A professor has asked about a raw data file for the National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations (2003).

This survey is not listed as being in the DLI collection. I mentioned that the surveys for which pumfs end up in the DLI collection tend to be household surveys and not surveys of institutions or businesses. I would appreciate a definitive answer to his request though.

Answer

A public use microdata file (PUMF) could not be produced for the National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations (2003) due to confidentiality related requirements. The DLI will therefore not be receiving a microdata file for this survey.

The following publication is based on this survey and may be of interest to the professor:

Cornerstones of Community: Highlights from the National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations (61-533-XWE)

"This publication provides the first national portrait of the many thousands of nonprofit and voluntary organizations found in every Canadian community. The data, from the National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations, reveal a set of organizations that are widely diverse in nature, touching virtually every aspect of Canadians' lives."

  1. You could set up videos and webinars explaining about your business or how to
    do something. This will make sure the fire doesn't go out due to being to slow with new fuel or simply not having any.
    The back part will need a pair of two by four wooden boards cut four inches long.

  2. I think what you said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
    suppose you were to write a awesome headline? I ain't saying your
    information isn't good., but what if you added a post title that grabbed a person's attention?

    I mean Data Interest Group for Reference Services (DIGRS) ? Blog Archive ? National Survey of Nonprofit
    and Voluntary Organizations is kinda plain. You might glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they
    create post titles to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab
    people interested about what you've written. In my opinion,
    it would make your posts a little livelier.
