Take a Hike Youth Mental Health Foundation is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 $5.7M in revenue and $5.5M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 25% from donations, 40% from government. In 2024, 61 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2.3M.

Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 8% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 83% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 45 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2M in 2020 to $5.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
