Not all women's organizations receive core funding, as I said. Some receive very little of what they actually need. Some of our member organizations might receive $40,000 a year, say. That doesn't cover much.
Generally speaking, our in‑house research shows that an organization needs at least $350,000 a year to pay an employee and an executive director, and to cover all the other resources it needs to support its core activities. That depends on the organization's mandate, for instance, whether it serves women directly or does advocacy work. On the whole, however, an organization needs at least $350,000 a year.
