Three Links CARE Foundation is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $7,910 in revenue and $37K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from donations, 480% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $151.
Compared with 162 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 51% of peers.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2,768 in 2020 to $7,910 in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
