ST Alcuin College for the Liberal Arts Society is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, it reported $379K in revenue and $205K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 22% from government. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $30K.

Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 77% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 16 permanent full-time positions.
