The Lumen Institute is a charitable organization based in Hanwell, New Brunswick, 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 $13K in revenue and $25K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 27% from donations. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,625.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $29K in 2020 to $13K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
