    Board of 12 with no chair designated on the register
  • Reserves high for operating size
    Reserves cover ~460 months of expenses on $217K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
