Finances
Environmental Defence Canada received $5.4m in donations in F2022. Administrative costs are 6% of revenue and fundraising costs are 3% of donations. This results in total overhead spending of 9%. For every dollar donated to the charity, 91 cents are available to go to the cause, which is within Ci’s reasonable range. Environmental Defence Canada's audited financial statements do not disclose fundraising costs. Audited financial statements and T3010 CRA filing do not disclose fundraising and administrative costs. Program, administrative and fundraising costs have been allocated by Ci based on line items in the charity's T3010 filing, thus they may not be accurate.
The charity has $4.3m in reserve funds which can cover 127%, or one year and three months of its annual program costs.
Environmental Defence Canada uses external fundraisers as part of its fundraising activities. In F2022, EDC reported paying $22k to external fundraisers who raised $193k. This means EDC paid 11 cents for every dollar raised by external fundraisers.
This charity report is an update that has been sent to Environmental Defence Canada for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
