Finances

Chabad Lubavitch Youth Organization is not financially transparent. Its financial statements are unaudited and are not publicly available.

Financial analysis was based on the most recent notices to reader received from the CRA (F2021 and F2020) which are unaudited and unreviewed. Chabad Lubavitch Youth Organization had total donations of $1.3m in F2021. When Ci analysis on CLYO began in F2010, and up until F2015, donations were between $6.8m and $7.5m. In F2016, they dropped 81% from $7.5m to $1.4m without indication of potential reasons. Since F2016, donations have remained under $1.5m.

In F2021, administrative costs were 4% of revenues and fundraising costs were less than 1% of donations. This results in total overhead spending of 4%. For every dollar donated, 96 cents go to the cause, which is outside of Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending. In F2021, the charity had net reserve funds of ($515k), due to mortgages payable of $1.1m and $175k in other interest-bearing debt. Excluding debt, CLYO could cover 78% or nine months of annual program costs with reserves.

The Charities Directorate of Canada recommends every charity with over $250k in donations have audited financial statements. Charity Intelligence strongly recommends that donors seek additional information on this charity prior to donating. 

In F2021, Chabad Lubavitch Youth Organization reported it spent a total of $133k in salaries for 6 full-time employees, resulting in an average salary of $22k. As the salary for a full-time worker is typically much higher, these numbers may be incorrect.

This charity report is an update that has been sent to Chabad Lubavitch Youth Organization for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.

Note: Financial statements are not audited. Program, administrative, and fundraising costs and grants were taken from the charity's CRA T3010 filings in F2021 and F2020. The F2019 T3010 filing did not report any program or administrative costs, so Ci allocated these as best as possible based on the unaudited statements. Ci backed out interest reported on the unaudited statements from program costs in F2021 and F2020. The unaudited statements do not have any accompanying notes so Ci was unable to make any further adjustments.
