Mary Kardash Child Care Centre puts 97.7% of its spending into programs — placing it above the 93.5% top quartile for comparable social service organizations — while maintaining steady 5.1% annual revenue growth on over $1.1 million in annual funding. The 83% compensation ratio looks high at first glance but is structurally expected for a child care centre where qualified early childhood educators are the program itself.
Our Verdict: A well-run Winnipeg child care centre where virtually every dollar goes to caring for children. The high compensation ratio reflects the nature of child care — you are funding trained staff, not overhead — and the organization's 32-year track record gives donors strong reason to trust their money is well spent.
