The Canadian Space Society is a charitable organization based in Nepean, Ontario, classified by the CRA under educational organizations not elsewhere categorized. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $37K in revenue and $53K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 6% of peers.
