CharityCAN is pleased to let you know that there has been a major upgrade to our Corporate Canada data.

We now have data on senior executives of 9,371 public and private Canadian companies. This compares to 4,841 public companies for which previously we had data. This additional data is collected by Thomson Reuters.

Previously we were able to capture data on the named executive officers (typically five in number) and directors of publicly listed Canadian companies. We still have this data. But now we have data on additional senior managers at these companies.

Let’s take Bank of Nova Scotia as an example. We had data on five named executive officers plus the 16 directors of the bank. Now we have data on a total of 38 individuals, the 16 directors plus 22 senior executives. You can find information on employees of the Bank of Nova Scotia with titles such as: Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and Executive Vice President — Canadian Commercial Banking. While these folks are not earning eight-figure salaries of Canadian bank CEOs, you can rest assured they have salaries in the several hundred thousand dollar range, and perhaps higher.

For more local research, you can find corporate data on individuals by entering the name of your community in the City box on the Corporate Canada search page. Let’s use the example of Barrie, Ontario, a city of 130,000 located between where we are in Orillia, Ontario and Toronto. Previously we had data on the named executive officers and directors of the one public company located in Barrie: Student Transportation Inc. Now we also have data on individuals working for these three private companies in Barrie: CoCo Paving, Global Electric Electronic Processing, and gShift Labs Inc.

In total we have grown our Corporate Canada data points (a record of an individual at a particular company in a particular year) from 208,772 to 795,422 data points.

I doubt we could put on a number to how many Relationship Paths (who’s connected to whom; which of your charity’s directors can connect with prospects A, B, C …. etc.) can be generated in CharityCAN with our Corporate Canada data married to our Charity Director data.

Happy searching!
