Maplewood Care Society directs only 69.4% of expenditures to charitable programs, well below the benchmark for similar charitable organizations. Administrative spending (29.1% of expenditures) exceeds the benchmark, which may reflect investment in organizational capacity or inefficiency. Maplewood Care Society has filed 80.0% of expected annual returns between 2009 and 2023 — some gaps may reflect late submissions or administrative delays. Reserves of 6.2 months are within the recommended range for financial resilience. Two standard compliance checks have not yet been performed: cross-referencing international transfers against countries flagged by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for weak anti-money-laundering controls, and verifying the charity isn't transacting with individuals or organizations under government financial restrictions (sanctions screening). These are gaps in the scoring system's reference data, not red flags about this charity.
Our Verdict: An established mental health charity in Abbotsford, BC, with 68% of spending going to programs and operating with zero fundraising overhead — a strong option for donors.
