Tyndale University is a charitable organization based in North York, 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 $20.3M in revenue and $23.3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 18% from other charities. In 2024, 33 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $4M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 19% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 125 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
