Canadian Retinoblastoma Society is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $2,500 in revenue and $4,440 in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from other charities. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,386.
Compared with 213 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 33% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $9,724 in 2020 to $2,500 in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
