Swan Valley School Division is a charitable organization based in Swan River, Manitoba, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $29.7M in revenue and $28M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 92% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $100K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 48% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 308 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
In its own words
The purpose of the charity is to provide bursaries/scholarships to students to further their education beyond grade twelve from interest earned and/or contributions received to provide bursaries/scholarships. The Division does not pursue/promote the charity. Families usually contact the Division to donate money to establish a bursary/scholarship. Occasionally the Division does receive Gifts In Kind for school/classroom equipment for which a receipt is issued. To date this has only happened once.
