Villa Cathay CARE Home Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 $27.4M in revenue and $25.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 74% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 13 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $597K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 94% of peers.
