Casper's Early Learning CO-Operative Centre is a charitable organization based in Carrot River, Saskatchewan, 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, 2024, it reported $543K in revenue and $606K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 80% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $3,000.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 46% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 13 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
