Colchester Christian Academy Association is a charitable organization based in Truro, Nova Scotia, 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 $1.2M in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 23% from donations, 10% from government. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $39K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 86% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 17 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $569K in 2020 to $1.2M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
