TREASURER’S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED
MARCH 31, 2013
Maintaining the financial health of a non-profit
organization such as The Women’s Centre is a
continuing challenge. We prepare budgets with
the expectation that funding, fundraising,
donations and expenses will turn out as forecast.
I am pleased to report that in the year ended
March 31, 2013 we continued to receive our
forecasted funding of $90,000 from the Ontario
Women’s Directorate and $36,216 from the United
Way. In addition, we also received donations of
$38,456 as well as funds from fundraising activities
of $8,702. We were disappointed that our Angel
of Hope and Sponsorship programmes did not
achieve the success we had anticipated. However,
we are continuing to pursue these programmes
aggressively and expect much better results in the
current year.
Because of the strong efforts of our Executive
Director and her staff, the expenses of the
Women’s Centre were well controlled in 2013,
resulting in a net income for the year of $2,138.
A condensed version of our audited statements for
the year ended March 31, 2013 is included as part
of our Annual Report.
We would like to thank the Board of Directors
for their commitment in bringing forth a long
term vision to enhance and promote our
reputation within the community.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
Melvina Walter for all her hard work in operating
The Women’s Centre and its’ amazing programmes
within budget. Her dedication and contribution to
the Centre are unbelievable and very much
appreciated. We would be remiss if we didn’t also
mention the staff and volunteers who contribute
enormously and make it possible to help so many
women.
