The Refuge Church (Riverview) INC.

It took in $1,454 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.

This filing does not add up. The reported components come to $26,685, more than the $424 total they are supposed to be part of, so no proportional breakdown is shown. The figures above are exactly as the charity filed them. This is a data-entry problem in the return, and not in itself a finding about the organisation.

This charity did not report a fundraising figure. That is not the same as zero. Only one charity in five reports a fundraising figure at all, and the return does not require it.

The Refuge Church (Riverview) INC. reported spending 5,955.7% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 725 charities registered under christianity that reported the same line for 2017, the middle of the range is 93.2%, and this charity sits at the 100th percentile — above 100% 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.

This charity filed the compensation schedule but left every band blank. That is not the same as reporting nobody.
