Chep Good Food Inc. is a charitable organization based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 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 $1.4M in revenue and $1.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 9% from donations, 50% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 13 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $168K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 41% of peers.
