Ontario Brain Injury Association is a charitable organization based in ST Catharines, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care.

Its funding that year was roughly 57% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $150K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 51% of peers.
