Finances
CUPS is a large charity with donations of $16.1m in F2019. Administrative costs are 15% of revenues and fundraising costs are 4% of donations. For every dollar donated, 81 cents go to the cause, which is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending. Donations may be overstated and overhead spending understated for F2019 as the charity fails to report government revenue separate from donations in its financial statements.
CUPS has $5.2m in funding reserves which could cover less than five months of program costs.
This charity report is an update that has been sent to CUPS Calgary Society for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
