Niginan Housing Ventures is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, 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 $14.6M in revenue and $14.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 21% from donations, 62% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $366K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 66% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 341 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $3.6M in 2020 to $14.6M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
