ERDO is a registered Canadian charity BN: 87591 2701 RR0001, and issues receipts for income tax purposes for each gift received over $20. For convenience and lowering administration costs, ERDO issues monthly donors one annual receipt in February of the following calendar year.
We are pleased to report to all of our supporters that we have ensured again that our child sponsorship program, ChildCARE Plus, has delivered 84 cents of each dollar given to the care of the child.
Our annual report takes into account all programs of ERDO: child sponsorship, crisis response and community development. The combination of all these activities in 2018 resulted in 87% reaching overseas programs, with the remaining 13% of funds covering support services and resource development.
Support services include things like opening and processing donations, child/sponsor correspondence, preparing responses to inquiry letters from sponsors and donors and other program management. Resource development takes into account things like hosting our website, advertising, and producing e-newsletters, brochures and direct mail to inspire new people to give.
