These programs operate both in Canada and abroad.

Finances
In F2022, GlobalMedic received $10.1m in Canadian donations. It received $4.3m in donated supplies in F2022, which represented 29% of total revenues. This was a 475% increase in donated supplies from $747k in F2021.
Administrative costs are 1% of revenues (less investment income) and reported fundraising costs are 0.0% of donations. This results in an overhead spending ratio of 1%. For every dollar donated, 99 cents go to the cause. This is outside Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
