Finances
360°Kids audited financial statements follow line-item costing, meaning its program, administrative, and fundraising expenses are not clearly indicated on its latest financial statements. This is not a best practice.
In F2025, 360°Kids earned $13.1m in revenue. It received $4.8m in donations (37% of total revenue), and $7.6m in government funding (58% of total revenue).
Administrative costs are 5% of revenues (less investment income). Fundraising costs are 10% of donations. Total overhead is 14%. For every dollar donated, 86 cents are available for programs. This is within Ci's reasonable range.
During F2025, 360°Kids spent $9.9m on its programs and distributed $37k worth of donated goods used in its programs.
At the end of F2025, the charity held $5.3m in reserve funds (cash and investments) that covers 53% or six months of its annual program spending. The charity also has a $1.9m operating surplus in F2025.
