Hello Dragonfly. The website that you want is ran by the Gov't.
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/lstngs/menu-eng.html You can either enter the charities name or do an advanced search and enter the charities, chartitable # .
It is usually easier if you have the number. When doing a name search you have to be pretty exact with the name or nothing will come up. Take Care. paul m
Hello Paul. I'm chair of three different charities and I get the same amount from all three "zero" I also know that the Mood Disorder Association of Ontario (the provider of this forum) pays it's Chair the exactly the same amount. zero. I'm not sure what the executive director gets, but it's not a million bucks, it's not even 100,000
I agree that there are some disreputable charities out there, but your blanket statement of
"Charities are meant for the rich as a tax right off and nothing more . Any money that goes into the charity is just to pay some CEO a million dollar plus bonus."
is not even close to being right. To start with, if someone with a large income gives a $1000 to a charity the most they can get back is approx $470 in tax savings which still leaves them $530 out of pocket. For a while there were some schemes where a disreputable charity would offer enormous credit for gifts in kind (donate a $10 bottle of asprin, get a$100 tax receipt etc) but the gov't has shut most of those down.
I'm sure that there are a few charities CEO's who get big bucks, but they are in the minority and it's easy to see where the money goes as each charity must list the salary of their top ten paid employees as well a full breakdown of revenue and expenses in their report to Rev Cda. Just use the Gov't link that I provided Dragonfly. Or use the sunshine list as provided below. Take Care. paul m
Hello Peter. That list is popularly called the sunshine list. I'll make a small addition to your statement. "The act requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario to disclose annually the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year." Take Care. paul m
Hello Everyone. The list does include charities who have rec'd money from the provincial Gov't. You can also search for organizations who have rec'd public sector funding, but who have no one getting paid over $100,000. (the MDAO appears on this list)
To do a list search go to
