The figures I've seen say Winshape has about an 18 million dollar budget annually and that donations to outside suspect groups are around than five million since 2003.
And can you point me to what you read saying that FCA is anti-gay?

The WinShape Foundation, which is CFA's charitable arm, has given money to several organizations with well-publicized anti-gay agendas, including but not limited to: Exodus International, Focus on the Family, the Eagle Forum, and the Family Research Council. All of these organizations have been vocal in their anti-gay rhetoric;
several of them are listed with the SPLC as anti-gay hate groups. I specifically listed those, and not some of the missions (like Schools of Niger), which may be generally ecumenical in scope.
Typically I'd try to find a link from a more neutral source, but Equality Matters actually included a PDF of WinShape's IRS forms so I think that's as unbiased as it gets. This document indicates approximately 1.9 million donated to specific groups in 2009; the numbers were the same for 2009:

Here's a link to an article about how a coach supported by FCA was able to pray her gay away:

The application that one completes in order to become an FCA leader includes a statement that one will refrain from homosexual acts. (They could have simply said sex outside of marriage, but they specifically included homosexuality. Strange.)
