The Toronto Bail Program is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $5.7M in revenue and $5.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 99% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,194.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 65% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 78 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
