Yukon Conservation Society is a charitable organization based in Whitehorse, Yukon, classified by the CRA under environment. 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 $690K in revenue and $882K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 57% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $75K.
Compared with 83 environmental institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 76% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
