They were claiming "charitable donation" status here,but,they were siphoning Canadian money out of the country to fund American projects leaving nothing for use by member clubs here. They lost their charitable status after they were exposed.

I'm sure you could find people with a bug up their arse for any of these organizations, but, as far as I'm concerned, even though I may not agree with all their philosophies, they are helping the various wildlife they are associated with, as well as other collateral species.

Can't speak to the others, but there was a column in Ontario Farmer a few years back that Ducks Unlimited Canada had sucked up over $20 million tax-dollars from Federal and Provincial governments. That's a lot of taxpayer dollars going to a charity. I thought charities were supposed to raise their own money.

I think that the government gives the large allotments of money to various organizations because they are performing tasks that the government would be on the hook for 100%. Instead, the government provides partial funding, and the organization looks after the rest. So, while 20 million seems like a large amount to give to an organization, it may be a bargain if it performs a service that would have cost the government 30 million to do on its own i.e. rehabilitate a former wetland.
