It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, it reported $10.7M in revenue and $9.3M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 14% from donations, 58% from government, 5% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 36 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $902K.
