In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $15.4M in revenue and $13.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations, 41% from government. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $88K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 63% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 91% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $160,000–199,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 90 permanent full-time positions.
