The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating is the
latest iteration of a series of surveys that began with the National
Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating. It was conducted by
Statistics Canada in 1997 as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey,
and was repeated in the fall of 2000. 

In 2001, the federal government provided funding to establish a
permanent survey program on charitable giving, volunteering and
participating within Statistics Canada. The survey itself was renamed
the Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP). 

The CSGVP was developed through a partnership of federal government
departments and voluntary sector organizations. These include Canadian
Heritage, Health Canada, Human Resources and Social Development Canada,
Imagine Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Statistics Canada
and Volunteer Canada. 

Because the 2004 CSGVP employs a different survey approach and because
it uses a somewhat different questionnaire than did the previous
surveys, it is not appropriate to compare results from the 2004 CSGVP
with the two previous surveys. The CSGVP surveyed just over 22,000
Canadians aged 15 and over.



Structure of the files

There are two data files for the 2004 Canada Survey of Giving,
Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP): the main answer file (MAIN.TXT),
and the giving file (GS.TXT). To link between the MAIN and GS Public Use
Microdata Files use the variable PUMFID.

MAIN.TXT

This is the main answer file and contains one record per respondent. All
questions except for those on the GS file are located here. In addition,
summary derived variables have been created from the GS file and placed
on the MAIN file.

GS.TXT

This is the giving or charitable donation answer file. It contains one
or more records for each person who made a financial donation: one
record for each of up to 10 charitable organizations to which the
respondent donated, over the 12 month reference period, in response to a
particular solicitation method. For each of the 13 methods of
solicitation itemized in the questionnaire, a donor may therefore have
up to 10 records, each containing information regarding the type of
organization, as well as the total value of all donations made to that
organization in response to that method of solicitation. In cases where
the respondent donated to more than 10 organizations in response to a
given method of solicitation, the total value of all donations made to
the remaining organizations is present on the 10th record as derived
variable GS1D08.
