Canada Institute of Linguistics is a charitable organization based in Langley, British Columbia, 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 $1.2M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 33% from other charities. In 2024, 21 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $308K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 86% of that peer group.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $29K in 2024, the largest being $29K to Trinity Western University. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
