Code Universel is a charitable organization based in Quebec, Quebec, classified by the CRA under education in the arts. 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 $18K in revenue and $46K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 87% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2021, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $288.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 9% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $92K in 2020 to $18K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
