Member Trust Score

Member Trust Score — version v1 (effective 2026-10-18)

The Member Trust Score is a transparency indicator built from CRA-derived directory fields (registration status, profile completeness, finance rows, directors, and public contact). It helps donors see how much public information is available — it is not a recommendation to give.

The Member Trust Score is an automated transparency indicator based on CRA-derived directory data. It is not an endorsement, financial advice, or an official CRA or Charity Intelligence rating.

Underlying figures come from CRA Charities Listings / T3010 public data. See where our charity data comes from for official CRA links, what we display today, and what is not imported yet.
