UrbaNature Education is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under educational organizations not elsewhere categorized. 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 February 28, 2024, it reported $39K in revenue and $38K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 15% from donations, 72% from government, 8% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $25K.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000.
