A Way Home Kamloops Society is a charitable organization based in Kamloops, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.3M in revenue and $1.5M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 23% from donations, 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $279K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 29% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $625K in 2020 to $1.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
