Toronto Ward Museum Inc. is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $162K in revenue and $221K 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 $1,040.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $355K in 2020 to $162K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
