The Shoe Project is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 December 31, 2023, it reported $79K in revenue and $133K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 50% from government, 39% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $49K.
Compared with 182 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 22% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $175K in 2020 to $79K in 2023. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
