Prairie Spirit School Division is a charitable organization based in Swan Lake, Manitoba, 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 $33.5M in revenue and $33.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 94% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 20 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $152K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 76% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 91% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 217 permanent full-time positions.
