Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre is a charitable organization based in Brantford, Ontario, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $46K in revenue and $59K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 10% from donations, 78% from government, 11% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,440.
