The Shared Path Consultation Initiative is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under educational organizations not elsewhere categorized. 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 May 31, 2024, it reported $71K in revenue and $79K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 91% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $385.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 37% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $147K in 2020 to $71K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
