Vancouver Christian School Association is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 July 31, 2024, it reported $14.1M in revenue and $11.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 43% from donations, 40% from government. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $65K.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 58% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 95% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 64 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 5 qualified donees totalling $5,313 in 2024, the largest being $1,648 to British Columbia's Children's Hospital Foundation.
