The Gosling Foundation is a public foundation based in Guelph, Ontario, 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 November 30, 2024, it reported $44K in revenue and $220K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 24% of peers.
As a grantmaker, it reported gifts to 6 qualified donees totalling $155K in 2024, the largest being $100K to University of Guelph. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $228K in 2020 to $44K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
