Durham Community Legal Clinic is a charitable organization based in Oshawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $1.5M in revenue and $1.6M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 97% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $201.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 12 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
