Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Toronto Central Council is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, 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 $10.7M in revenue and $10.2M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 64% from government, 15% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 44 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.1M.

Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 37% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 70 permanent full-time positions.

It reported gifts to 76 qualified donees totalling $369K in 2024, the largest being $41K to Churches-ON-The-Hill Food Bank. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
