Finances
For F2024, F2023, and F2022, Ci received incomplete financial statements from the CRA for Salvation Army Yellowknife. These statements do not have a cash flow statements or any financial notes. It is unclear if these statements have been audited. Before F2022, Charity Intelligence only received financial statements for Salvation Army in Canada & Bermuda and had to use the CRA T3010 filings to find information for Salvation Army Yellowknife.
In F2024, Salvation Army Yellowknife received $1.1m in donations, which represented 22% of total revenues. In F2024, Salvation Army Yellowknife also received $3.2m in government funding, representing 61% of total revenues. Administrative costs are 7% of total revenues (less investment income) and fundraising costs are 1% of total donations. For every dollar donated, 92 cents are available to go towards the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending. The charity has not allocated salaries to admin and fundraising activities, so the overhead ratios are likely understated. In F2024, Salvation Army Yellowknife had $1.1m in its reserve funds (cash and investments). This is enough to cover almost three months of annual program costs.
This profile has been sent to Salvation Army Yellowknife for review. Changes may be forthcoming.
