Charitable Groups: Revenue Canada

United Ways Dept: The charitable group opened its books to the in response to questions about why according to tax filings the organization spent more on salaries and less on funding to other charitable groups than United Ways in other Canadian cities, according to CBC. By comparison, the United Way of Hamilton and Greater Burlington brought in about $6.7 million in donations but gave out $5.66 million to other groups and spent $1.14 on compensation and the Ottawa United Way is defending its spending practices, saying its location in the nation's capital and the volume of individual donations it receives create unique challenges that make it difficult to compare its finances with other arms of the charitable organization. According to figures from Revenue Canada, United Way Ottawa took in about $8 million in donations in 2010 and gave out about $4.4 million to other charitable organizations, with over $2 million going to pay staff compensation. As reported in the news.
