Financials: Expenditures $700
This tiny, volunteer-run Ottawa branch of the United Nations Association in Canada operates on a micro-budget (annual expenditures of just $700 in 2023) and has experienced a severe revenue cliff — a 76% single-year drop — alongside extreme revenue volatility that raises questions about organizational sustainability. Despite 46 years of continuous registration and a clean legitimacy profile, its financial trajectory and massive reserve-to-spending imbalance suggest an organization that has significantly contracted from its earlier activity levels.
Our Verdict: This is an all-volunteer civic education organization operating at a hobbyist scale — total spending in 2023 was just $700. It poses no fraud risk, but donors considering a gift should understand they're supporting a largely dormant branch with accumulated reserves far exceeding its current activity level, and should inquire about plans to deploy those funds toward its educational mandate.
