Visions for Small Schools Society is a charitable organization based in Rossland, 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 $215K in revenue and $243K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from government. In 2022, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,031.
Compared with 1,540 education 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 lower than 84% of that peer group.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
