Is blankets for Canada a good charity?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Charities in Canada need to be registered with Revenue Canada and will have a charitable organization number

If they don't then they are likely for profit and any donations are used for their own purposes

ask for an annual report of what is done with the funds

if the amount spent on administration is more than 20% be careful or someone is lining their pockets

They have a web site as a society whatever that is

hi, I can't answer directly about a Canada business, but will give you ideas on how I check out charities.

Visit them in person, see how they treat you.
Ask what they plan to do with the donations.
Check their registration with the government, both federal and local
Ask for their balance statement, if they have a public one. See how much money goes to administration, and how much "to the people". (if they have a printed statement)

good luck!
