Its funding that year was roughly 57% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $609K.
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 3% of peers.

The charity reported 195 permanent full-time positions.
