Finances
In F2024 Sarnia-Lambton Rebound received $2.0m in donations and special events fundraising. In F2023 the charity received $812k in government funding, representing 52% of total revenues. SLR does not disclose the amount of government funding it received in its audited financial statements. At the time of this update SLR’s T3010 filing for F2024 is not available. As a result, Ci could not determine how much government funding SLR received so donations are likely overstated.
Administrative costs are 5% of revenues (excluding investment income). Fundraising costs are 2% of donations, although this is likely understated. This results in total overhead spending of 7%. For every dollar donated, 93 cents are available to go to the cause. This falls within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
In F2024 SLR spent $1.8m on its programs, which is 90% of its revenue. In F2024 it had a surplus of $67k.
In F2022 SLR reports it spent more on part-time compensation than total compensation. This is an error as total compensation includes part-time compensation.
Sarnia-Lambton Rebound has $848k in reserve funds (cash and investments). This can cover 48%, or six months of its annual program spending.
This charity report is an update that has been sent for review to Sarnia-Lambton Rebound. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
