Ark Aid Street Mission Inc. is a charitable organization based in London, Ontario, classified by the CRA under support of religion. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $7.1M in revenue and $5.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 81% from government, 18% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 51 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $634K.
Compared with 81 religious institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 82% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 97% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
