Nelson Area Waldorf School Association is a charitable organization based in Nelson, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $2.3M in revenue and $2.6M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,791.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 71% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 19 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
