In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $478K in revenue and $442K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 28% from donations, 69% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $104K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 27% of peers.
