Youthwrite Society Canada is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $386K in revenue and $415K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations, 56% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $100K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 90% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 86% of that peer group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $171K in 2020 to $386K in 2024.
