Say what you care about. We match it against what charities say they do, then show each one's own CRA figures.
Foundations mostly grant money to other charities, so we judge them on the share disbursed to qualified donees instead of program spending.

score = 0.42·impact + 0.33·need + 0.25·cost-efficiency. impact = Ci rating (0.5 demonstrated-impact + 0.5 results-grade), neutral where unrated; need = 1/(1+runway yrs); cost rewards the healthy 5–35% overhead band, graded within it (lower in-band overhead ranks higher; below 5% gets no extra credit).
