Algoma University Université Algoma is a charitable organization based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, it reported $304.4M in revenue and $209.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 85% from donations. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $367K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 60% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 96% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $350,000 and over range. The charity reported 369 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $49M in 2020 to $304.4M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
