Animal welfare
1,184 registered charities are classified under animal welfare 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.
