The Cuso International Promise
We know you care about your donation being used effectively. We care about that too. Your trust is important to us and we promise to maintain transparency, inspire confidence and meet and exceed standards in our work.
Cuso International is accredited by Imagine Canada, a designation only given to charities that demonstrate excellence, credibility and leadership in fundraising, financial accountability and transparency, board governance, staff management and volunteer involvement. The Imagine Canada Trustmark is a symbol of our promise to you. A symbol you can trust.
How We Use Funds Effectively
For every dollar spent, 81 cents go directly towards projects that reduce poverty and inequality. This means more of what you give goes towards creating change.
More than that, every dollar you give to Cuso International multiplies. We all have a role to play. You can help more people gain the skills they need to succeed, and your donation will be matched 6 times by Global Affairs Canada to have even greater impact. Last year that meant our programs benefited more than 743,920 people.
