The Brock Street Mission Peterborough

The Brock Street Mission Peterborough is a charitable organization based in Peterborough, 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 $2.2M in revenue and $2.5M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 13% from donations, 77% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 25 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $191K.

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 74% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 90% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 25 permanent full-time positions.
