Glen Eden School Society

It spent $67,320 more than it took in, drawing down the difference. Neither is good or bad on its own — charities hold reserves, run capital campaigns, and spend down endowments, and the return does not say which.

• Charitable programs64.9%
• Management and administration35.1%

This charity did not report a fundraising figure. That is not the same as zero. Only one charity in five reports a fundraising figure at all, and the return does not require it.

Glen Eden School Society reported spending 64.9% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 44 charities registered under teaching institutions that reported the same line for 2017, the middle of the range is 90.6%, and this charity sits at the 16th percentile — below 84% of them.

That is a position in a distribution, not a verdict. Charities allocate costs differently on the same form, and a lower share often reflects how a return was filled in rather than how the money was spent. The cohort counts only charities that reported this line — about a quarter of the register does not, and they are not in the comparison at all.

Canadian charities report how many of their ten highest-paid positions fall in each pay band. Not who they are, and not what any one person earns — the return does not collect that, and it cannot be worked out from what follows.

• 3$1–39,999
• 4$40,000–79,999
• 1$120,000–159,999

8 positions reported in total. The form asks only about the ten highest-paid, so a smaller number means the charity reported fewer compensated positions than that.
