Organizations relieving poverty
12,218 registered charities are classified under organizations relieving poverty by the CRA. The classification is the charity’s own registered category, not our judgement of what it does.
Note:
Listed largest first by reported revenue. That is a size ordering, not a ranking — the biggest charity here is not the best one, and revenue says nothing about how well any of them works.
