Social Circus Circle is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 $100K in revenue and $122K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 36% from donations, 64% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,649.
Compared with 162 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 85% of peers.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $26K in 2020 to $100K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
In its own words
