Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 11% 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 (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 53 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 64 qualified donees totalling $761K in 2024, the largest being $97K to L'Archevêque catholique romain de Québec. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $14.5M in 2020 to $22.1M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
