In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $144K in revenue and $137K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 62% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,550.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 68% of peers.
