Riparia is a charitable organization based in Cantley, Quebec, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

Its funding that year was roughly 27% from donations, 118% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,268.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $3,444 in 2020 to $22K in 2024.
