In F2022, Muslim Welfare Canada received $6.0m in donations. It also received $233k in goods-in-kind donations. It received $2.5m in government funding, amounting to 28% of total revenues. Fundraising costs are 7% of donations and administrative costs are 5% of revenues (less investment income). Total overhead spending is 12%. For each dollar donated, 88 cents go to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
