Victim Services Toronto 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 $5.8M in revenue and $5.8M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 50% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 22 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $438K.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 22% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 89% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 42 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.8M in 2020 to $5.8M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 16 names.
