The Canadian Immigration Historical Society la Société Historique de l'Immigration Canadienne is a charitable organization based in Ottawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 April 30, 2024, it reported $8,770 in revenue and $14K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 34% from donations, 57% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2,000.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 57% of peers.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $200 in 2024, the largest being $200 to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides/fondation des Lions du Canada Chien-Guides.
