It took in $157,333 more than it spent, and retained 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.

• Management and administration9.6%

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.

University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research/ Institut de Reserche En Sante Mentale de L'universite D'ottawa reported spending 90.4% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 189 charities registered under research that reported the same line for 2024, the middle of the range is 85.6%, and this charity sits at the 60th percentile — above 60% 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.

• 5$40,000–79,999
• 3$80,000–119,999
• 1$120,000–159,999
• 1$200,000–249,999
