Finances
Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Foundation is a Major 100 charity with $19.3m in donations and special events fundraising revenue in F2018. Administrative costs were 4% of revenues (excluding investment income) and fundraising costs were 49% of donations and special events fundraising. CHEO Foundation does not disclose lottery costs separately from fundraising costs. These lottery costs are included in the fundraising costs. This likely materially overstates CHEO Foundation's fundraising costs and fundraising ratio. As stated, for every dollar donated, 48 cents go to the cause. This is outside Charity Intelligence’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
CHEO has funding reserves of $82.2m, of which $19.6m are donor-endowed. Excluding donor-endowed funds, CHEO Foundation has a program cost coverage ratio of 453% meaning it can cover annual grant spending for 4.5 years. CHEO Foundation has grant commitments of $16.1m to payout in F2019 ($18.6m in grant commitments for F2018). CHEO management says that accumulated surpluses are for future needs and/or future capital campaigns.
CHEO Foundation's funding reserves contributed $0.1m in investment income in F2018 (Ci estimates a 0% rate of return) compared with $5.0m in F2017 (Ci estimates a 7% rate of return). Over the last seven years, Charity Intelligence estimates CHEO Foundation's investment returns have averaged 6%.
This charity report is an update that has been sent to CHEO Foundation for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
