We're working from a summary of a summary report by a charities watchdog. We don't actually have the numbers to crunch. There is a trend of lack of accountability by professional sports teams with charitable foundations. The Flames Foundation, to their credit, at least provided some financial information unlike most other Canadian sports team foundations. But the summary of the efficiency of funds collected is dire. You would have to go beyond the summary report to try to find the hard numbers to assess whether the watchdog is just making things up or the information they collected supports with what they present in their summary.
I suppose there's room for scepticism about Charity Intelligence Canada but I think it's the Flames that owe the greater explanation. I find the response of a lot of posters to be defensive rather than analytical.
