Trinity College 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 April 30, 2024, it reported $40.8M in revenue and $27.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 42% from donations. In 2024, 43 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $9.9M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 45% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 85% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $200,000–249,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 102 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $24.4M in 2020 to $40.8M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 28 names.
