Edo Friends of British Columbia Association is a charitable organization based in Surrey, British Columbia, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $163K in revenue and $148K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 12% from donations, 57% from government, 31% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $110K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 79% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $98K in 2020 to $163K in 2024.
