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 $312K in revenue and $267K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 14% from donations, 78% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $480.
