OVERVIEW

About Humanitarian Coalition:

Humanitarian Coalition is a 4-star rated charity with a below-average results reporting score. It is financially transparent and has overhead costs within Ci's reasonable range.

Formed in 2005, Humanitarian Coalition is a partnership between some of Canada’s largest international disaster response charities. It coordinates efforts and holds funds for its twelve partner institutions which include Oxfam Canada, Save the Children Canada, CARE Canada, Islamic Relief Canada, World Vision, and Plan International Canada. It also partners with Global Affairs Canada. 

Humanitarian Coalition responds to large disasters by raising awareness and funding a coordinated response. In F2022, it responded to the Ukraine crisis, helping 67,358 people. The charity also responded to an earthquake in Haiti, helping 259,196 people, and floods in Pakistan, helping 202,608 people. Humanitarian Coalition reported that by the spring of 2022, approximately 24% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa was undernourished. The charity provided aid to eight countries in Africa, helping 327,779 people. The charity also responded to the impact of the covid-19 pandemic in India, providing support to 371,470 people.

Humanitarian Coalition also responds to smaller disasters that might not get press attention in Canada but are too big for the affected country to handle. In F2022, the charity funded 15 projects to help with 12 humanitarian crises. 39% of its response funds went to WASH programs, 38% went to providing food security and helping people rebuild their livelihoods, 12% went to shelter, and 11% went to providing people with protection. The charity reports spending $6.2 million on these projects to help 221,403 people, at a cost of $28 per beneficiary.

Results and Impact

Humanitarian Coalition reports that after two years of advocacy by Canadian aid organisations, Bill C-41 has been tabled in 2023. The Bill would enable Canadian aid organisations to provide humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan, where organisations have been unable to work since the Taliban took over control in August 2021.

While Ci highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Humanitarian Coalition’s results and impact. 

Charity Intelligence has given Humanitarian Coalition an Average impact rating based on demonstrated impact per dollar spent.

Ci could not break out government vs. non-government deferred contributions and therefore adjusted for them in Other income. Ci reported program, grant, administrative, and fundraising costs from the charity’s T3010 filings with the CRA.
