The Safehaven Project for Community Living

The Safehaven Project for Community Living is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $13.8M in revenue and $13.7M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 77% from government, 11% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 20 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $241K.

Compared with 115 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 10% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 93% 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 $250,000–299,999 range. The charity reported 218 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $6.4M in 2020 to $13.8M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
