Financials: Revenue $59,000 · Expenditures $73,148
La Fondation Au Nom de l'Enfance is a 31-year-old children's charity in Quebec's Eastern Townships that directs 97.4% of spending to programs, with highly volatile revenue that has included a historical 79.7% cliff. Despite running a deficit in its most recent year — $73,148 in expenditures against $59,000 in revenue — the foundation maintains 6 months of reserves and a clean compliance profile.
Our Verdict: A mission-focused children's foundation with excellent program spending, though donors should note the current deficit spending pattern and below-peer reserves that suggest the organization is drawing down its financial cushion.
