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 November 30, 2024, it reported $310K in revenue and $204K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 7% from donations. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,370.
