The King's University is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $21.6M in revenue and $21.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 63% from donations, 25% from government. In 2024, 51 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $3.2M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 62% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 91% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 148 permanent full-time positions.
