Charities at Risk

Identifying charities facing financial challenges or unusual patterns

Important context: This report identifies charities with financial patterns that may indicate challenges. A single year of losses doesn't necessarily mean a charity is failing - many charities strategically draw down reserves for programs. Always investigate the context before drawing conclusions.
