Results and Impact

Clients of Siloam Mission often lack access to basic needs of food, shelter, and water. In F2022, the charity provided 41,152 bed nights for 1,311 people.

The Transition services helped 54 people find houses for the first time in F2022. 86% of those housed maintained housing after six months and 85% maintained it after one year. The staff helped clients find housing, provided in-home support to prevent eviction and assisted clients in maintaining positive relationships with landlords.

Finances

In F2022, Siloam Mission received $10.3m in donations. The charity also received $3.4m of government funding, representing 22% of total revenues. Administrative costs are 9% of revenues (excluding investment income), and fundraising costs are 11% of donations. This results in overhead spending of 20%. For every dollar donated to the charity, 80 cents go to the cause. This is within Ci's reasonable range.

Siloam Mission has $3.6m in reserve funds once the $4.7m Make Room Loan is accounted for. The charity can cover over four months of its annual program costs with its reserves. This indicates a need for funding.
