Pickering College is a charitable organization based in Newmarket, Ontario, 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 $37M in revenue and $24.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 24% from donations. In 2024, 11 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $659K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 46% 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. Its highest-paid position fell in the $350,000 and over range. The charity reported 127 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 6 qualified donees totalling $1,137 in 2024, the largest being $487 to Woodland Cultural Centre. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $22.9M in 2020 to $37M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
