This interesting dashboard from CRA notes some figures relating to registered charities and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). In total, registered charities received $4.1 billion in CEWS payments.
There were 219,192 charity applications for CEWS and around 218,457 were approved. This means that very few charities have their application refused.
The story has yet to be written on the CEWS and the charity sector. It was a very expensive program that perhaps resulted in a lot of money going to some charities that did not really need the funds. There were many charities that desperately needed the funds but did not qualify for the program either because they did not have employees or they did not meet the requirements otherwise.
