Buddhist Society of Ontario is a charitable organization based in Mississauga, Ontario, classified by the CRA under other religions. 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 September 30, 2024, it reported $10K in revenue and $37K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2022, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $19.
Compared with 68 religious institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 4% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $45K in 2021 to $10K in 2024.
