The Ottawa Catholic District School Board manages over $778 million in annual revenue as one of Ontario's largest publicly funded Catholic school boards, directing 97.3% of expenditures to educational programs. With 28 years of continuous CRA registration and a perfect legitimacy score, this is a major institutional charity with the scale and governance structure of a government entity.
Our Verdict: A large, publicly funded school board with near-perfect program spending and zero fundraising costs — the high compensation ratio is structural, reflecting that teachers and staff are the educational program itself, not overhead.
