$150,417,831
$117,447,830
It took in $32,970,001 more than it spent, and retained the difference. Neither is good or bad on its own — charities hold reserves, run capital campaigns, and spend down endowments, and the return does not say which.

It reported giving $3,059,159 to other qualified donees — registered charities and similar organisations. This sits outside the breakdown above, which covers the charity’s own spending. Line 5050.
Ducks Unlimited Canada/Canards Illimites Canada reported spending 87.7% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 853 charities registered under animal welfare that reported the same line for 2024, the middle of the range is 90.3%, and this charity sits at the 45th percentile — below 55% of them.
That is a position in a distribution, not a verdict. Charities allocate costs differently on the same form, and a lower share often reflects how a return was filled in rather than how the money was spent. The cohort counts only charities that reported this line — about a quarter of the register does not, and they are not in the comparison at all.
Canadian charities report how many of their ten highest-paid positions fall in each pay band. Not who they are, and not what any one person earns — the return does not collect that, and it cannot be worked out from what follows.
10 positions reported in total.
| Permanent full-time positions | 300 | 451 |
|---|---|---|
| Part-time or part-year employees | 370 | 144 |
| Total spent on all compensation | 390 | $40,644,461 |
Charities that hold significant property not used in their programs must spend a minimum amount each year — the disbursement quota. Ducks Unlimited Canada/Canards Illimites Canada files this schedule; most charities do not.
| Required to spend | 840 | $8,754,360 |
|---|---|---|
| Counted toward the quota | 860 | $103,403,543 |
| Difference | 865 | $94,649,183 above the quota |
Charities may also carry a disbursement excess forward for five years, so a single year is a slice of a longer calculation rather than the whole of it.
The most recent return this charity has filed — not its position today. Charities have six months to file and the CRA publishes annually.
These are the charity’s own figures. A surprising figure is at least as likely to be a filing error as a finding.
This site cannot confirm whether 118888957 RR 0001 is registered today. Its filings are public open data; current registration status is not, and the CRA’s own listing is the only authoritative source. Check this charity on the CRA Charities Listing.
