Pine Hill Divinity Hall is a charitable organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $1.3M in revenue and $1.9M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 7% from donations. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $98K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 13% 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 $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
In its own words
The Pine Hill Divinity Hall Board (PH) continues to exist after the foundation of Atlantic School of Theology (AST) was formed in 1971. PH is support for the United Church of Canada students' training at AST for Christian Ministry. Income from the endowment funds administered by the Board of PH contribute to the operating expenses of AST and provides financial assistance to students in need who are preparing for ministry in the UC of Canada.
