Northern Alberta Institute of Technology is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 $396.4M in revenue and $357.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 53% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 30 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.9M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 57% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 78% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $350,000 and over range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 1,900 permanent full-time positions.
