Websites profile Canada's leading charities

Websites profile Canada's leading charities: According to the most recent reports by Statistics Canada, nearly six million Canadians gave $8.3 billion to about 85,000 registered charities in 2010, up 6.5% from 2009. And that doesn't include support given unregistered good causes or the value of millions of hours of volunteer time.

Many of those donors make an effort to ensure their donations go to the most worthwhile causes. Yet according to a recent Fraud Prevention Month survey by Angus Reid Forum, a surprising percentage of donors give money to causes without prior research.
