Summary: A tiny percentage of the gifts made by CHIMP account for the vast majority of the total value of all gifts. In fact, 0.3% of CHIMP’s gifts accounted for 87% of the total amount gifted. This is because a few of CHIMP’s gifts are very large meanwhile the vast majority are very small. One gift alone for a total of $74 million accounted for more than half of the total gifted. More than 1,000 of the gifts made by CHIMP in 2018 were for $100 or less. Fully 85% of the gifts made by CHIMP in 2018 were for $5,000 or less. Less than 0.5% of CHIMP’s gifts accounted for nearly 90% of the total value of the gifts made in 2018.
Gifts to Bromley Charities: In 2018, six of the top 10 gifts made by CHIMP went to Bromley Charities. These six gifts accounted for 85% of the total value of all gifts (nearly 3,000) made by CHIMP. These six Bromley Charities were: Fortius Foundation, Vanchorveuve Foundation, Viva Voce Charitable Foundation, The Donald & Julia Leung Foundation, Virtual Vancouver Foundation and Priority Foundation. The four charities that were also in the top ten but are not Bromley Charities are Youth With A Mission Foundation, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, Barnabas Family Ministries Society and UBC.
