Ritz Lutheran Villa is a charitable organization based in Mitchell, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $16.1M in revenue and $16.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 71% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,500.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 29% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 111 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
