Gakino'amaage: Teach For Canada is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $4.2M in revenue and $4.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations, 24% from government, 49% from other charities. In 2024, 30 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.7M.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 16% of peers.

The charity reported 32 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
