How we check charity profiles
What we check before publishing a charity profile, and what the “Information verified” label tells you.
- Checked against CRA
- Official sources reviewed
- Relationships disclosed
01 / What we check
What we check
Each profile shows its sources and the date they were reviewed.
01
Registration and identity
For registered charities, we check the legal name, registration number, status, designation, and available registration dates against the Canada Revenue Agency listing.
02
Official organization information
We check public descriptions, programs, locations, and donation destinations against organization-controlled sources. Profiles show descriptive source links and the date of review.
03
Relationships and payment
Listings identify editorial, founding-partner, or sponsored relationships. Payment cannot buy verified status, influence calculator results, or determine rankings. Beaver Ledger does not currently rank charities.
02 / Scope
What “verified” means
The label covers the public details we checked.
“Information verified” means key public details were checked against the identified sources. Beaver Ledger does not perform a financial audit, certify outcomes, endorse an organization, or guarantee that information will never change.
03 / Donations
Donations and privacy
Donations go straight to the charity.
Beaver Ledger does not hold or process donation funds. Donation links lead to an organization-controlled flow, and our event layer excludes gift amounts, tax results, and personal information.
Corrections
Corrections and rechecks
Material changes are rechecked and profiles can be paused when key details cannot be confirmed.
