Sing for Your Life Foundation is a charitable organization based in Kelowna, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under relief of the aged. 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 May 31, 2023, it reported $5,870 in revenue and $13K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2021, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2.
Compared with 31 seniors' institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 9% of peers.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $400 in 2021, the largest being $400 to Central Okanagan Foundation. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $11K in 2020 to $5,870 in 2023.
