Fun School is a charitable organization based in Mississauga, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $1.9M in revenue and $2.1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 21 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1.1M in 2020 to $1.9M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
