Pacific Torah Institute Society is a charitable organization based in Comox, 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 $104K in revenue and $3,305 in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from donations. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $675.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 32% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $1,000 in 2024, the largest being $1,000 to Mesivta of Las Vegas. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $393K in 2020 to $104K in 2024.
In its own words
For economic reasons PTI has moved its operations to the US. Canadian donors are still kindly contributing to operations.
