The Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) is being recognized for its social return on investment.
The organization has been included on the Charity Intelligence 2018 list of the top 10 charities in Canada.
On average, charities in Canada provide $2 in social benefit for every dollar received, whereas that number is $6 for the CFGB.
“It’s encouraging for us to have this public affirmation of the impact of the work we are doing through our members,” says Foodgrains Bank executive director Jim Cornelius. “We have always been confident this work is reducing hunger in the world. Being included in this list gives our supporters additional confidence that their investments in the Foodgrains Bank are truly having an impact.”
In the 2017-18 budget year, CFGB provided over $37 million dollars of assistance for over 800,000 people in 34 countries.
The Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger.
