Canada Sos: Students Offering Support is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 August 31, 2022, it reported $260K in revenue and $338K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 75% from donations, 25% from government. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $9,811.
Compared with 1,571 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
In its own words
We help students in the post-secondary study for exams. We fundraise to help fund schools and community projects in Latin America. We also ran service trips connecting students and alumni with the communities we support.
