In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $636K in revenue and $191K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 34% from donations, 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $81K.

Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 79% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
