Fernie Youth Services is a charitable organization based in Scarborough, 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 30, 2024, it reported $3.1M in revenue and $3.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 89% from government, 8% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $253K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 39% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 24 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1.9M in 2020 to $3.1M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
