Northeast Burnaby Community Association is a hyper-local, volunteer-driven organization running children's summer camps, a literacy program, and a community garden out of Stoney Creek Community School — programs it has operated continuously since 1982. Despite a near-total revenue collapse during COVID-19 (a 97.9% drop in 2020), the association has staged a steady recovery and now operates at close to pre-pandemic levels with strong program spending and minimal overhead.
Our Verdict: A well-established, community-rooted charity that channels 92.5% of spending into its programs — well above the peer median. The COVID-era revenue cliff is the main blemish on the record, but post-pandemic recovery has been consistent, and donors funding local children's programming in northeast Burnaby can feel confident their dollars are being put to work efficiently.
