On CI's site they posted these financials (not sure if they were previously posted):

https://www.charityintelligence.ca/m...20-%20Copy.pdf

The $560K in expenses includes a couple "direct event" fundings which were a health camp and rink refurbishment. I guess they can't include those as charitable disbursements because there was no registered charity.

The expenses do not include the $850K. There is, however, $650K in honorariums. Are some of their celebrity participants actually getting paid? That makes me unhappy.

ETA: It looks on some sites that they call some donations "honorariums", such as the moneys to 50/50 selling teams.
