In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.9M in revenue and $1.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 33% from donations, 51% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 13 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $302K.
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 18% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 9 permanent full-time positions.
