North Shore Women's Centre Society is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $578K in revenue and $639K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government, 11% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $65K.
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 68% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 8 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $351K in 2020 to $578K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
