The West Central Women's Resource Centre Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 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 $5M in revenue and $3.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 20% from donations, 57% from government, 13% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 16 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.5M.
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 30% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 95% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 54 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2M in 2020 to $5M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
