Saanich Marine Rescue Society reported spending 96.5% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 271 charities registered under protective health care that reported the same line for 2024, the middle of the range is 90.0%, and this charity sits at the 69th percentile — above 69% 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.
Charities that hold significant property not used in their programs must spend a minimum amount each year — the disbursement quota. Saanich Marine Rescue Society files this schedule; most charities do not.
| Required to spend | 840 | $3,602 |
|---|---|---|
| Counted toward the quota | 860 | $159,046 |
| Difference | 865 | $155,444 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 138240940 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.
