The Air Cadet League of Canada is a charitable organization based in Ottawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under educational organizations not elsewhere categorized. 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 $1.1M in revenue and $1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $9,393.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 4% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 76% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 16 names.
