Arctic Children and Youth Foundation/fondation des Enfants et des Jeunes de l'Arctique is a charitable organization based in Iqaluit, Nunavut, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $4.3M in revenue and $4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 23% from donations, 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $122K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 19% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 97% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $160,000–199,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 21 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $307K in 2020 to $4.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
