Thunder Bay Literacy Group is a charitable organization based in Thunder Bay, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $510K in revenue and $496K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 94% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,532.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 59% of peers.
