Project Give Back for Youth is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 $368K in revenue and $441K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 74% from donations. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $208K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 66% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 93% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 5 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
In its own words
The organization continues to educate elementary students or youth by providing a course about charitable giving designed to develop empathy build character and ignite community minded citizens.
