Dixon Hall is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $31.7M in revenue and $30.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 89% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 33 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.4M.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 32% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $300,000–349,999 range. The charity reported 271 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $18.4M in 2020 to $31.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
