The Arbutus Shaughnessy Kerrisdale Friendship Society is a nearly five-decade-old Vancouver seniors' organization that channels 86% of spending to programs while maintaining perfect legitimacy scores. With over $1 million in annual revenue and zero fundraising costs, it operates as a lean, community-funded service provider focused on poverty relief for older adults.
Our Verdict: A well-established seniors' organization with strong program spending and nearly half a century of continuous CRA registration. Compensation runs high relative to peers, but this is typical for staffing-intensive elder care — donors can give with confidence.
