Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority is a charitable organization based in Thorold, Ontario, classified by the CRA under protective health care. 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $19.3M in revenue and $16M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $78K.
Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 4% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $160,000–199,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 73 permanent full-time positions.
