Vancouver Rape Relief Society

Vancouver Rape Relief Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1.8M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 15% from donations, 57% from government, 25% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 20 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $681K.

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 33% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 89% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 11 permanent full-time positions.
