Education 4 Change is a charitable organization based in Waterloo, Ontario, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $40K in revenue and $56K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 58% from donations. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $15K.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 43% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
