The Laurier Institution is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, it reported $52K in revenue and $65K 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 57% of peers.
