BYTE - Empowering Youth Society is one of only a handful of charities operating in the Yukon, delivering health-focused youth programming from Whitehorse with an A+ trust grade. Revenue has declined significantly from a peak of $956K to $587K, but the organization maintains strong program spending at 83.9% and healthy reserves of 6.9 months — well above its peer median of 4.2 months.
Our Verdict: BYTE is a well-managed northern charity that puts the vast majority of its dollars into programs and maintains a comfortable financial cushion, though donors should be aware that revenue has contracted substantially from its peak and the organization is currently spending slightly more than it takes in.
