Social Enterprise for Canada is a charitable organization based in Newmarket, 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 $8M in revenue and $7.8M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 89% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $96.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 39% of peers.
