The Charity Compliance Index (CCI) is administered by the Charity Compliance Institute - Canada's leading supervisory body dedicated to ensuring transparency, accountability and integrity within the Canadian non-profit sector. Our mission is to enhance the public’s trust in Canadian charities by promoting rigorous compliance standards and benchmarking individual organizations' compliance ratings against our wider database of non-profit organizations.
Through our administration of the Charity Compliance Index, we ensure that charities operate transparently and effectively, thereby maximizing the impact of charitable programs and donations.
Charity Compliance Index (CCI) - Rating System and Database
The Charity Compliance Index is a comprehensive evaluation tool that measures and scores the compliance of charities across key areas, including governance, financial health, operational efficiency, and adherence to regulatory requirements.
By providing standardized compliance scores, the Charity Compliance Index ensures that volunteers, donors, and beneficiaries have access to reliable and transparent information. These scores are maintained in a publicly accessible database, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions about their involvement with various organizations.
As custodians of the Charity Compliance Index rating system and scoring database, we aim to uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability within the non-profit sector.
