The South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls (S.O.R.C.O.) channels an extraordinary 96.8% of its spending directly into its wildlife rehabilitation programs, placing it in the top tier of Canadian charities for mission focus. This small Oliver, BC-based organization has operated for 38 years with a perfect filing record and clean governance, earning an A+ Trust Grade despite modest and declining revenue.
Our Verdict: S.O.R.C.O. is an exceptionally mission-focused organization that puts virtually every dollar into owl rehabilitation. Revenue has been declining and the charity is currently spending more than it brings in, so donors should feel confident their contributions will be used efficiently but may want to ask about long-term sustainability.
