In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $2.1M in revenue and $2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 75% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2,600.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 85% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 85% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (10 positions in that band).
