MADD Canada's Financial Reporting

MADD Canada wants to ensure that all its donors and supporters have the most up to date and complete information on how MADD Canada raises its funds and how those funds are spent on MADD Canada’s programs and services.

Attached is MADD Canada’s approved 2011-2012 financial budget (PDF).

MADD Canada and its Community Chapters are dependent on the generosity of the Canadian public to support our mission of stopping impaired driving and supporting victims of this violent crime.

MADD Canada plays a critical role in the anti-impaired driving movement and its support of victims of this violent crime across Canada. Our programs are supported by generous donors who know their funds will be used in an effective, efficient and ethical manner.

MADD Canada understands and is accountable to our donors to ensure that we spend all monies received in an appropriate manner.

Fundraising Costs:

MADD Canada strives to keep all fundraising costs to the absolute minimum. MADD Canada however relies heavily on small gifts from individual donors and as such costs to support this type of fundraising are higher than organizations that receive support from the federal government, corporations, foundations or large gifts from wealthy donors. MADD Canada sees these contacts with individual donors as having a dual function: to educate the public about impaired driving and to raise funds to support programs that educate Canadians about impaired driving and to support the victims of this violent crime.

MADD Canada uses outside contractors to undertake many of the technical aspects of informing the public about its policies and programs and fundraising as opposed to asking our victims/volunteers to do so. Our victim/volunteers have a unique contribution to make in supporting, advising and assisting those who have recently lost a loved one to impaired driving. They are also in the best position to give talks in local high schools and to undertake other public relations initiatives in their communities. In MADD Canada’s view, these are far more important functions for our victims/volunteers than stuffing the millions of envelopes and making the millions of phone calls that are part of MADD Canada’s ongoing national campaigns. These millions of direct contacts are vitally important to educate and inform the public, to advise them of our victim and Chapter services, to encourage them to be responsible and to ask them for their financial support. However, these essential components of MADD Canada’s national campaigns are best done by professional outside services.
