YWCA 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $46.1M in revenue and $47.7M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 68% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 56 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $3M.

Compared with 115 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 28% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 81% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 316 permanent full-time positions.

Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 16 names.
