$9,723,279
It took in $1,455,974 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.
| Year | Money in | Money out |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | $8.7M | $7.0M |
| 2018 | $9.7M | $8.2M |
| 2019 | $7.5M | $7.6M |
| 2020 | $11.1M | $6.3M |
| 2021 | $12.6M | $11.8M |
| 2022 | $17.8M | $12.7M |
| 2023640-day period | $5.7M | $8.9M |
| 2024 | $11.2M | $9.7M |
The period marked above (2023) did not cover about twelve months. A charity that changes its fiscal year end files a shorter or longer transitional return, so a figure for that period is smaller or larger because of its length — not because the charity did less or more.
| What it went on | CRA line | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charitable programs | 5000 | $7,000 | 0.8% |
| Management and administration | 5010 | $105,337 | 11.4% |
| Fundraising | 5020 | $808,116 | 87.8% |
| Total expenditures excluding gifts | 4950 | $920,453 |
It reported giving $8,802,826 to other qualified donees — registered charities and similar organisations. This sits outside the breakdown above, which covers the charity’s own spending. Line 5050.
Zlc Foundation reported spending 0.8% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 510 charities registered under foundations advancing education that reported the same line for 2024, the middle of the range is 81.5%, and this charity sits at the 2th percentile — below 98% 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. Zlc Foundation files this schedule; most charities do not.
| Required to spend | 840 | $756,910 |
|---|---|---|
| Counted toward the quota | 860 | $8,809,826 |
| Difference | 865 | $8,052,916 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 897476560 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.
