Isaiah 40 Foundation is a 35-year-old Montreal-based poverty relief organization with a significant international footprint, directing 72.9% of its charitable activity abroad. Revenue has been extremely volatile — including an 82.5% cliff drop in one year — and the latest filing shows $334,183 in expenditures against just $65,396 in revenue, indicating the foundation is drawing heavily on its $745,591 asset base.
Our Verdict: A long-established international poverty relief organization with substantial reserves, though the dramatic revenue volatility and heavy deficit spending deserve careful attention. Donors should understand that this organization's funding model appears to rely on drawing down accumulated assets rather than current-year income.
