Christian Science Society Hamilton is a charitable organization based in Grimsby, Ontario, classified by the CRA under christianity. 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 19, 2024, it reported $3,884 in revenue and $6,120 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.
Compared with 68 religious institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 44% of peers.
It reported gifts to 13 qualified donees totalling $926K in 2023, the largest being $78K to First Church of Christ Scientist ST. Catharines. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $74K in 2020 to $3,884 in 2024.
In its own words
