Vancouver Talmud Torah 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $11.8M in revenue and $12.4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 36% from donations, 23% from government, 6% from other charities. In 2024, 24 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.1M.
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 fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 85% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $250,000–299,999 range. The charity reported 68 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 21 qualified donees totalling $17K in 2024, the largest being $1,485 to Mamatefet. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 16 names.
