Dyslexia Canada is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $1.2M in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 64% from government, 28% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 18 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $399K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 51% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 89% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $277K in 2020 to $1.2M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
