# Claim table — Dogwood / BC Politics Watch

| Claim / issue | Evidence label | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Dogwood is based in Victoria and has a public office address. | Supported by Dogwood contact page | Dogwood lists a Victoria office at 864 Queens Ave., Victoria, B.C.; the 2025 annual report also lists a Vancouver office at 312 Main St., 2nd Floor. |
| Dogwood says it is B.C.’s largest nonpartisan citizen action network. | Supported as Dogwood self-description | Dogwood’s About page uses that wording. NewsForBC treats it as the organization’s description, not an independently audited ranking. |
| Dogwood’s mission is to democratize/decarbonize/decolonize B.C. | Supported from strategic framework, with nuance | The 2025 framework says Dogwood’s long-term vision is a B.C. that is democratized, decolonized and decarbonized; its mission statement is to strengthen democracy, uphold Indigenous rights and defend climate/land/water. |
| Dogwood is not a registered charity. | Supported by Dogwood page/search captures | Dogwood’s will/legacy giving language says Dogwood is not a registered charity and cannot issue tax receipts. Search results also separately show a Dogwood 25 Society charity; avoid conflating entities. |
| Dogwood had about $1.9M in revenue in latest annual report. | Supported by Dogwood 2025 annual report | Year ended March 31, 2025 revenue total: $1,928,566; expenses: $1,726,381. |
| Grants and individual contributions each made up 39% of 2025 revenue. | Supported by Dogwood 2025 annual report | Grants: $747,669; individual contributions: $753,110. |
| The video says Dogwood/advocacy groups exploit an election-finance loophole. | Source claim / legal interpretation | The claim is made in the Ben Mulroney/BC Politics Watch interview. Elections BC rules regulate advertising sponsors and reporting for election advertising; the wider non-advertising organizing-transparency question is a policy debate. |
| Third-party advertisers must register/report under B.C. rules. | Supported by Elections BC | Elections BC says third-party advertising sponsors must register before sponsoring advertising, include name/contact, follow limits and reporting rules. |
| Foreign/anonymous funding is proven current. | Not proven in this pass | Public records show older-source allegations/search leads about U.S. foundations and Dogwood’s older annual reports. NewsForBC did not locate a current public filing proving current foreign funding. |
