Gerstein Crisis Centre is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $10.2M in revenue and $9.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 98% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $89K.
Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 68% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 137 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $5.9M in 2020 to $10.2M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
