The NL Public Record

What the province's charities take in, hold, and spend

Every registered charity files an annual return with the Canada Revenue Agency. The returns are public, but scattered one charity at a time. This page puts the Newfoundland and Labrador filings side by side, so a question about one charity can be read against all the others.

Charitable program expenditures as a share of total revenue. A low number does not always mean waste; some charities raise money to grant it out, which shows on a different line. Charities below $100,000 in revenue excluded. National charities with a local address are left out of the lists. Select any charity to see its full record.

What to know about these figures

Figures are reproduced as filed on the T3010 return. The latest year shown is the last year with a full set of filers; a year in which fewer than half the charities have filed yet is held back until it fills in. National charities with a Newfoundland and Labrador address are listed but left out of the lists.
