Charity Intelligence (Ci) Canada Top Picks 2011 - Distress Centres Recognized as one of the chosen 33 Recommended Charities by Ci

Charity Intelligence Canada (www.charityintelligence.ca) researches charities across Canada every year to create a list of their “top picks”. Charities undergo a very transparent research and analysis process in order to be recognized as a Recommended Charity by Ci.

“To find excellence, Ci researchers and assesses charities. Our assessment extends far beyond just the numbers, looking a charity’s mission, theory of change, history of results, outcomes rather than just outputs, and management,” states the Top Picks 2011 Charity Intelligence Canada report.

This year, 237 charities across Canada were contacted by Ci, 93 submitted audited financial statements, Ci conducted 77 in-depth analyses of various selected charities from across the country, and 33 charities were recommended. Find full report here

“Distress Centres is honoured to be one of the chosen 33 Recommended Charities by Ci”, Karen Letofsky, Executive Director, Distress Centres.


"... I have been waiting for some time to thank you. I have often felt awfully lonely and depressed and just wanted to die but I always knew that if I really needed it, I could call you and someone would listen and help me, and I would not be alone."
