What our customers are saying

    “As leaders, we are faced with making challenging decisions. More so now than ever! COVID-19 has shaken the world and impacted each of us. One tough decision that I had to make was shutting down our administrative offices and re-deploying all of our leadership staff to work from home. Thanks to ShareVision, this has been seamless – the information flows and the work continues!”

    “ShareVision transformed how we collect and use information. The knowledge base of the ShareVision Product Experts, about their product and the community living sector saved us hundreds of hours and unquantifiable dollars as we designed and implemented our site. It was surprisingly simple to learn and the Sharevision Team was infinitely patient as they trained a non-technical person how to administer our site and develop new content.”

    “Our organization went from binders full of paper and notes to bringing it all online with Sharevision.  Though the task seemed daunting, the Sharevision team was with me the whole way to make sure I was able to set up the system exactly how I wanted it.  Whenever I had a question, Sharevision support got back to me within an hour with detailed instructions.  We have now been using Sharevision for almost two years now, and it was one of the best decisions I have made.”

  • CISS-logo

    “CISS has been using Share Vision to manage our program's activities and employee information since 2009.  When we first started with Share Vision, we used Version 3 and a couple of years ago moved over to Version 4.  Using this system has allowed our organization to move towards a paperless system, and during COVID, we had to pivot to this method very quickly.  We were successful in the transition because of the support and education we received from the Break Water Design team and our own internal Share Vision champions.”

    Shari Mahar Executive Director
  • EssexLogo

    “Since we began using ShareVision three years ago, we have invested a great deal of time and resources further developing  our ShareVision database with customized reports, specific notifications and alerts and programming that has revolutionized the way we work. All information is exportable to MS Office programs and templates can be created in Word and Excel for use in ShareVision. The built-in coding for multiple levels of security and privacy gives us the flexibility to offer up only the information necessary for our employees to do their work and ensures information regarding the people we support is kept private and confidential.”

What does it mean for an organization to be accredited?

When an organization is accredited, it signifies that it has met specific standards set by an accreditation agency. It's a validation of the organization's commitment to maintaining high standards of service delivery, governance, and accountability within the non-profit or philanthropic sectors. This accreditation status often serves to instill confidence in donors and the general public about the organization's operations and management.

How do I register a non-profit organization in Canada?

Starting a nonprofit organization in Canada involves a comprehensive review of the current practices in the nonprofit sector. The first step is creating a detailed operating plan for your organization. Then, you need to assemble a board of trustees, consisting of people who are dedicated to your organization's cause. Once your nonprofit board is set, you can proceed to register your organization with the appropriate national organization or authority. Please note that the process might involve certain licensing fees.

Can I start a nonprofit by myself in Canada?

Yes, an individual can start a nonprofit organization in Canada. However, it is essential to navigate power dynamics, understand the costs of accreditation, and ensure that the organization meets the accreditation policy and schemes, including governance dimensions and accountability practices. Keep in mind, in most cases, you will also need to form a board of directors to meet registration requirements.

What is the difference between certification and accreditation?

While often used interchangeably, certification and accreditation have distinct meanings within the context of the nonprofit sector. Certification is a process that validates an individual's or organization's skills, knowledge, and competencies in a specific field, usually through an examination process. Accreditation, on the other hand, is an endorsement given to organizations that meet predefined industry or sector standards as determined by an accreditation agency.

What are the 4 steps to the accreditation process?

  1. Application: This initial stage involves a detailed review of the organization's leadership and current practices. It is designed to assess the readiness of the nonprofit for the accreditation process, focusing on their commitment to standards of ethics and accountability practices.
  2. Self-study: Organizations undertake a comprehensive self-assessment to analyze their operations against established accreditation standards. This phase supports continuous improvement and helps identify areas for organizational excellence through additional reports and analytical tools.
  3. On-site Review: Conducted by the accreditation team, this step involves a thorough inspection and verification of the organization's compliance with accreditation standards. It allows for a deeper understanding of the nonprofit's programs and services, ensuring they meet the required benchmarks.
  4. Accreditation Decision: The final verdict from the accrediting body is based on the outcomes of the previous steps. This decision confirms whether the organization has met the criteria necessary for accreditation, highlighting the benefits of accreditation to nonprofits and promoting their mission statement and accountability.
