What Youth and Philanthropy Initiative Canada/ Initiative Canada Jeunesse Et Philanthropie does
Ongoing programs
YPI Canada is an innovative public foundation and world leader in youth-led participatory grant-making. We offer an inclusive fully-resourced and equity-focused youth civic education project that takes place in high schools across Canada. YPI grants hundreds of thousands of dollars to community-based social service charities each year 100% based on the research and peer-to-peer advocacy of thousands of teenagers who participate in our annual project. YPI takes place in high schools where it is implemented inclusively to all students across grade 9 or 10 as a curriculum-linked graded project within any mandatory course. Teachers receive introductory training full program resources and ongoing staff support to run YPI as a curriculum-linked project in all sections of a mandatory course. Students are given authentic responsibility and decision-making power throughout the entire YPI process which sparks then sustains their motivation to engage in their community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from C$1.5M to C$863k (−42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 2% · 2021 8% · 2022 6% · 2023 5% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
80% of YOUTH AND PHILANTHROPY INITIATIVE CANADA/ INITIATIVE CANADA JEUNESSE ET PHILANTHROPIE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$340k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 regions is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
