Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- FY2025 revenue rose 8% to $27.66 million, with a $197,962 surplus.
- Power Corporation's support expanded the Canadian Program and Northern Distance Learning in 2026.
- Rotary's $45,000 Ethiopia donation plus 14:1 government matching amplifies program leverage.
What critics are saying
- FY2025 still relied on $15.45 million from Global Affairs Canada funding.
- A $27.46 million expense base leaves execution exposed if donor renewals slip in 2026.
- Loss of federal support would cripple volunteer placements and threaten Cuso's operating model.
What makes Cuso International unique
- Cuso International pairs volunteers with programs across 743,920 participants in FY2025.
