Context, Not Just Numbers

Every charity's verdict explains what it does, why it earned its grade, and what to watch for — in plain English, free, no account.

Backed by Real Data

CRA filings, 20 assessment areas, and 15 years of history. We analyze revenue trends, spending patterns, and compensation — not just a snapshot.

Concerns Explained

We identify compliance issues, unusual spending, governance concerns, and filing gaps — and explain what each one means for your donation decision.

Peer comparisons that tell the real story

We rank every charity against others of the same type and size. Context that turns raw numbers into meaningful insight.

Explore Sector Benchmarks

Fund charities? Monitor them.

Grantee Watchlist alerts foundations, DAFs, and compliance teams the moment a charity they fund drops a grade, loses registered status, trips a critical flag, or matches a sanctions list — on the only CRA-fresh change-detection engine built for Canada.

Upload your portfolio

Add the charities you fund by CRA business number. We watch them against fresh CRA data every night — no more manual lookups across 200 grantees.

Get alerted on change

Status revocation, grade drops, new critical flags, sanctions matches — emailed before your next disbursement, not at an annual review.
