John Cooper Learning Centre is a charitable organization based in Mississauga, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 $121K in revenue and $185K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $154.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 85% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
