In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.2M in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 74% from government, 14% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $174K.
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 12% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range.
