Teachers on Wheels is a 44-year-old educational charity in St. John's, Newfoundland, that devotes 90% of its spending to programs — specifically food bank and meal programs for the community. With compensation consuming nearly 80% of revenue, this is a staffing-intensive operation where paid educators and program workers are the program itself.
Our Verdict: A long-established educational charity with strong program spending and rock-solid governance over four decades. The high compensation ratio is the program model, not overhead — donors are funding the people who deliver the service directly.
