Caritas School of Life is a charitable organization based in Woodbridge, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $2.7M in revenue and $2.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 73% from government, 5% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $172K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 3% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (17 positions in that band). The charity reported 31 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1.7M in 2020 to $2.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 14 names.
