Peer Mediation and Skills Training (PMAST) is a Calgary-based youth conflict resolution charity that has seen dramatic but volatile revenue growth — from $8,100 to $107,073 over five years — while channeling 94.8% of expenditures directly into programs, well above its peer median. The organization earns a trust grade of A, reflecting strong governance fundamentals and high program focus, though revenue instability and a current-year deficit warrant monitoring.
Our Verdict: PMAST directs an impressive share of spending to its anti-bullying and conflict resolution programs, and its 23-year track record and clean compliance profile are reassuring. However, revenue has been highly volatile — including a single-year drop exceeding 60% — and the latest filing shows a deficit, so donors should be comfortable with the organization's funding trajectory before giving.
