Saskatchewan Blind Sports Association is a charitable organization based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $124K in revenue and $159K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 73% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $149.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
