Comments & Contact
Comments added by the Charity:
Operating reserves are managed collaboratively across the MCC agencies in Canada. The operating reserve of a particular MCC entity, such as MCC Manitoba, is not necessarily reflective of the resources available to the agency at a given point in time. Across the MCC system in Canada, it is policy to target operating reserves to a minimum level of four (4) months of operating budget to a maximum level of six (6) months of operating budget. When particular regional MCC entities fall outside of these guidelines, transfers of equity may be negotiated.
