Read this first

  • Society-wide, not DTES-only. A charity that operates in Surrey and on Powell Street reports one provincial number. We label footprint on every agency.
  • Do not add the City’s $46.7M to T3010. That figure is city departments (fire, engineering, parks, staff) plus grants. The grants already show up on charity returns.
  • 2025–2026 are incomplete. CRA’s last complete charity file is 2024. Later years show announced grants only.
