McMaster Divinity College is a charitable organization based in Hamilton, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 April 30, 2024, it reported $3.5M in revenue and $4.4M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
In 2024, 11 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $154K.
Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 23 permanent full-time positions.
