Craigwiel Gardens is a charitable organization based in Ailsa Craig, 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 $8.8M in revenue and $10M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 74% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,800.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 18% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 94% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (6 positions in that band). The charity reported 63 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
