Haig-Brown Institute is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under environment. 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 October 31, 2023, it reported $44 in revenue and $403 in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
