The Royal College of Dentists of Canada 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $2.4M in revenue and $3.3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 40% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 14 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 19 names.
