Old Strathcona Youth Society 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $634K in revenue and $514K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 9% from donations, 69% from government, 17% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 9 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $109K.
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 62% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 94% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 5 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $392K in 2020 to $634K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
