Brain Injury Canada is a charitable organization based in Ottawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $534K in revenue and $632K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 10% from donations, 75% from government, 11% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $127K.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 78% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $272K in 2020 to $534K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
