Macaulay Centres for Children is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $32.4M in revenue and $31M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 81% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $585K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 33% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 97% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range.
