Caribbean African Canadian (CAFCAN) Social Services is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $4.8M in revenue and $4.4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 65% from government, 34% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.2M.

Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 42 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.8M in 2020 to $4.8M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
