The Beacon Learning Centre is a charitable organization based in Gloucester, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $1.3M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 62% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $931.
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 96% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (9 positions in that band). The charity reported 29 permanent full-time positions.
