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 $167K in revenue and $167K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 24% from donations, 58% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $13K.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 14% of peers.
