Applegrove welcomes discussion about charitable donations. On September 22, 2010, CBC Television News carried a report about charities using "3rd party" fundraisers. The on-line version includes a database of amounts that charities paid to outside fundraisers. This database shows that Applegrove paid about $2,700 to an external fundraiser for total proceeds of about $9,600, or a cost of 28%. What the database does not say is that these fees are paid to an external company that organizes off-site "Nevada" (break-open) ticket sales for the agency. Applegrove puts little time or energy into Nevada and its proceeds are spent directly on programming.

In a column in the November 23 Toronto Star, Carol Goar wrote about a report from a group called Charity Intelligence or CI. This group researched about 400 charities across Canada and recommended donating to a small number of them, based on costs of administration and fundraising, plus other factors. Here are the links:
Because Applegrove's administrative costs are covered by the City of Toronto, 100% of charitable donations are spent on programs.
