Operators Without Borders is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 $48K in revenue and $62K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
