As part of The War Amps commitment to being accountable to our donors, we are pleased to provide our Essential Financial Information. To obtain a printed copy, please call 1 800 250-3030 or e-mail customerservice@waramps.ca.

The War Amputations of Canada has a unique structure within the charitable field. In 1946, the Key Tag Service was created to provide employment for returning disabled veterans from the Second World War. This service was recognized as a sheltered workshop at that time. During the intervening years, hundreds of disabled Canadians have worked at the Key Tag Service, and it continues providing employment to disabled Canadians. A significant portion of the costs of the Key Tag Service is considered to be a charitable program of the Association as recognized by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

All of this detailed financial information is provided in our annual filing of form T3010, which is available to the public on the CRA website.

The War Amps financial statements are prepared and audited by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, a large and respected international auditing firm. They also prepare our annual filing of the T3010 government return.

The War Amps is committed to providing donors with our essential financial information. The intent of our financial summary on The War Amps website is to provide the most valuable data for our donors in terms of explaining our programs and how their money is being spent.

We are continually re-evaluating how we present our financial information in order to ensure that we are providing our donors with the information they need to make a well-informed decision.

The War Amps is proud of its history and the programs and services we offer to amputees. Public support of the Key Tag Service, which has returned more than one million sets of keys, enables the Association to continue to operate its many programs, such as the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Matching Mothers, PLAYSAFE, the National Service Bureau for veterans and the National Amputee Centre.

The War Amps does not: use professional fundraisers; receive government grants; solicit by phone or door-to-door; sell or trade your name/address: spend more than 10% on administration, or tie up funds in long-term investments. Our administration costs are constantly monitored.
