The Linden School is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 July 31, 2024, it reported $2.2M in revenue and $3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,146.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 73% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 21 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $2,500 in 2024, the largest being $2,500 to Youth and Philanthropy Initiative Canada/Initiative Canada Jeunesse et Philanthropie. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
