In the Philanthropy section of the Goldstream Gazette indicates a survey is being done for those people who decide to donate to a charity, and would like to know if their donation is going to have an impact or not. Problem is there are countless charities out there, so which one do you support? Which one would gain the most from your donation? This survey and report is to help address these concerns. That’s where the program Vital Signs comes in. It’s used as a measure to identify what people may not know and give proper acknowledge meant to the issues that need it. Vital Signs gives citizens intelligence on social issues, assisting in identifying challenges the community faces and clarifying priorities.
Factors determine the indicators published in Vital Signs each year:
-The first part of the national initiative, all participating community foundations publishes Vital Signs report in 2009 agree to publish one common indicator for cross-country comparison.
-Second, the Foundation calls upon the citizens of the region to get involved by participating in a survey which will be launched online (http://www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca/), this helps determine which indicators will be published in the report. This part of the process enables the public to have important input about where they feel opportunities and challenges exist in the region
-The third factor that determines which indicators are published is data-availability-whether or not the data exists to report on the suggested indicator
This is a helpful tool to address concerns individuals in a public may have, as “Victoria is our community and Vital Signs is our report card”
