Where the money goes

We strive to keep our administrative and fund raising costs to a minimum. Home of Grace Care Centre Inc., the fundraising and advocacy group in Canada operates with no paid staff and many supplies and services are donated so that your contribution has the greatest impact.

No charity can operate without administrative and fundraising expenses. Administrative costs of Speroway are within acceptable limits for operation of an international development charity in Canada.
