Emily Murphy Second Stage Residences is a charitable organization based in Stratford, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $412K in revenue and $722K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
