In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $75K in revenue and $9,917 in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 41% from donations, 59% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $44K.
Compared with 162 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 60% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
