In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $296K in revenue and $192K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 78% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2021, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $366.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 41% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 92% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
