Saskatchewan Health Authority is a charitable organization based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, classified by the CRA under supportive health care. 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 $5.5B in revenue and $5.4B 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 $11.2M.
Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 37% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $350,000 and over range (10 positions in that band). The charity reported 27,294 permanent full-time positions.
