Turning Point Youth Services 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $9.5M in revenue and $9.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 85% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $46K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 91% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 98% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 86 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
