Main Square Day CARE Centre is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $998K in revenue and $913K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $50.
Compared with 1,147 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 90% of peers.
