Domestic Abuse Services Oxford is a charitable organization based in Woodstock, Ontario, 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 $1.8M in revenue and $1.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 14% from donations, 69% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 15 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $165K.
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 13% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 80% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (10 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
