Willowstone Academy is a charitable organization based in Kelowna, 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, 2023, it reported $2.4M in revenue and $3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 45% from government. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $12K.
Compared with 1,212 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 7% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (9 positions in that band). The charity reported 14 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
