    Fundraising allocation controversy

    A Toronto Star report alleged that approximately 19 cents of every dollar raised went to victim services and efforts to combat drunk driving. MADD Canada suspended fundraising temporarily and disputed the characterization of its awareness spending. The controversy also involved a reported Canada Revenue Agency warning about classifying fundraising costs as charitable expenditures.
