Knowledge Network Corporation is a charitable organization based in Burnaby, British Columbia, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $20.6M in revenue and $16.7M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 43% from donations, 32% from government. In 2024, 58 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $413K.

Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 98% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 48 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $13.7M in 2020 to $20.6M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
