Cochrane Creative Playschool Society is a charitable organization based in Cochrane, Alberta, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $231 in revenue and $11K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 15% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 8 qualified donees totalling $5,900 in 2024, the largest being $2,100 to Rocky View Schools. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $56K in 2020 to $231 in 2024.
