North House

North House is a charitable organization based in Uxbridge, 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 $924K in revenue and $900K in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 10% from donations, 75% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $92K.

Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 70% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 85% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
