The Toronto Centre for Philosophy is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $68K in revenue and $82K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 13% from government. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,036.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 40% of peers.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $45K in 2020 to $68K in 2024.
