Association for New Canadians is a charitable organization based in ST John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $55.7M in revenue and $54.8M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 13 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $222K.
