The Women's Centre of York Region is a 45-year-old Newmarket organization delivering an outstanding 90.9% program spending ratio — well above the 81.9% peer median for poverty-relief charities. With $1.23 million in revenue and an 11-member board, this established women's services provider channels the vast majority of its resources directly to programs, though its 79.3% compensation ratio reflects the staffing-intensive nature of counselling and support services.
Our Verdict: A long-standing and well-governed organization that puts over 90 cents of every program dollar directly into services for women. The high compensation ratio is the program — counsellors, case workers, and support staff are the service delivery mechanism, not overhead. A strong choice for donors supporting women's services in York Region.
