Global Gathering Place Inc. is a charitable organization based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 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 31, 2024, it reported $6.5M in revenue and $6.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $140K.
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 67% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 92% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 55 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $3.7M in 2020 to $6.5M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
