Canadian charities giving to Indigenous

Charities and Qualified Donees - 2018

By Sharon Redsky, Wanda Brascoupe, Mark Blumberg and Jessie Lang (May 31, 2021)

We recently reviewed the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return database for 2018 to see how

many gifts and the value of those gifts were made from Canadian registered charities to “Indigenous

Charities” and certain Qualified Donees such as First Nation Governments or ‘Bands’ (listed as

“municipal or public body performing a function of government in Canada”). Together we refer to

them as “Indigenous Groups”.

To identify Indigenous Groups, we reviewed the list with all grants over $30,000 and we also used

terms and phrases such as: Indigenous, First Nation, Metis, Inuit, Indian, Indian Band, Nation, Tribal

council, National Indian Brotherhood, etc.. We also used a list from the Indigenous Peoples Solidarity

Fund by CanadaHelps developed by Wanda Brascoupe. We cut off the review at $30,000 because

these larger grants are over 28,000 grants and also encompass about 90% of the value of grants made

by Canadian charities to qualified donees. If an individual or corporation donates to an Indigenous

Group, this would not be reflected in this article as we only have visibility as to registered charities

making gifts to other qualified donees.

We encourage others to either do a more comprehensive review or use different methodology.

We believe that Indigenous led charities are vital in providing culturally appropriate services. There

are numerous charities in Canada that are either Indigenous led or primarily serving Indigenous

communities, but it is not always easily determinable who they are and how many there are. These

groups include First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. There are many misconceptions about funding

of Indigenous Groups, and we are trying to add a little bit to the understanding of how these groups are

funded.

There are also 505 municipal or public body performing a function of government in Canada of which

the vast majority are First Nation Governments or ‘Bands’ (we have pasted the complete list at the

bottom of this article). Some are also Boards of Education or Regional Park Authorities.

Statistics Canada notes that in the 2016 census 1,673,785 identified themselves as 'Aboriginal' or

'Indigenous' or 'First Nations people, Métis or Inuit'. This reflects approximately 4.9% of the

population of Canada.

So, we were wondering whether Indigenous groups were getting about 4.9% of funds being granted

from Canadian charities based on population or perhaps even more because as is widely acknowledged

Indigenous people in Canada have significant needs resulting from colonization and government

policies. For example, from 1895 to 1951 the government under the Indian Act criminalized traditional

Indigenous practices of reciprocity such as potlatch or give away ceremonies.

According to the Canadian Encyclopedia:

“In July 2019, a report co-authored by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the Canadian

Centre for Policy Alternatives revealed that 47 per cent of the 254,100 status First Nations

children in Canada live in poverty. Nationally, status First Nations children are nearly four times

more likely to live in poverty than non-Indigenous, non-racialized children. The study, titled

Towards Justice: Tackling Indigenous Child Poverty in Canada, was published by Upstream

Institute, a national communication think tank. The authors of the report, Natasha Beedie, David

Macdonald and Daniel Wilson tracked child poverty using Statistics Canada ’s 2006 Census,

2011 National Household Survey and 2016 Census. The also study revealed differences in the

poverty rate for status First Nations children living on-reserve (53 per cent) and those living off-

reserve (41 per cent).

Poverty rates were highest on the Prairies, with status First Nations children in Manitoba and

Saskatchewan living on reserves facing extreme poverty rates of 65 per cent. In comparison,

recent studies reveal that non-Indigenous children in Manitoba and Saskatchewan have poverty

rates of 15 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively. In Quebec, the poverty rate for First Nations

children living on reserves has fallen to 29 per cent, most likely due to the results of agreements

between First Nations and the province to share natural resource revenues (such as Hydro-

Québec revenues). The national poverty rate for the 4.5 million non-Indigenous children (not

including racialized and recent immigrant children), the biggest group in the country, is 12 per

cent.

AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde declared that “The findings of this report are shameful

and underscore the urgent need to invest in First Nations children, families and communities.

Our children face the worst social and economic conditions in the country.… It’s beneficial to

all Canadians to close the gap in quality of life between First Nations and Canada.” The AFN

and authors of Towards Justice believe that a “national poverty strategy,” with self-

determination for Indigenous peoples, increased government funding and resource revenue

sharing arrangements between Indigenous peoples and government, should be implemented

immediately to tackle and reduce child poverty among Indigenous children.

It appears there were 284 grants to Indigenous Groups out of 28,164 that were over $30,000. So just

over 1% of grants were to Indigenous Groups. There were 7 gifts of $1 million and over to Indigenous

groups. 117 gifts over $100,000 in total. The total amount given by Canadian charities (including

charitable organizations, public foundations and private foundations) to Indigenous Groups was

$46,887,535.

In 2018 Canadian charities gave to other charities and qualified donees $9,400,321,633 which is

slightly over $9.4 billion. Of the total grants over $30,000 given by registered charities they were

$8,350,587,042 in value which is about 89% of the dollars involved.

How much does the $46,887,535 equate to as a percentage of the $8.3 billion? As a percentage

Indigenous groups received 0.005614879%. This is about ½ a percent of the funds granted.

Even though Indigenous people are about 4.9% of the population, Indigenous Groups received just

over one half a percent of gifted funds. As Indigenous people account for 4.9% of the Canadian

population then Indigenous groups are receiving about 1/10th of the funding that they would receive as

a result of population size, even if one ignores issues of need. Indigenous Groups are getting about $1

for every $178 given to non-indigenous groups.

We probably over included some grants – for example one of the bigger grants was for Winnipeg Art

Gallery: Inuit Art Centre – probably the Winnipeg Art gallery is not Indigenous controlled or primarily

serving Indigenous communities. As well some of the grants to Indigenous Groups included in this

article are from Indigenous Groups such as National Indian Brotherhood Trust Fund and not funds

coming from non-Indigenous groups.

This reflects similar finding in recent report release December 2020, ‘The Charity Report reveals where

private foundations spend their money’, that reviewed the funding of 20 private foundations who gave

a total $1.63 billion in grants, in which 0.2% of funding went to support Indigenous organizations.

Just to put these total numbers in context, there are 11 non-Indigenous charities that each received more

than all the Indigenous Groups in Canada combined in 2018. As well, Brigham Young University, a

foreign registered university and therefore a qualified donee received about $73 million in that same

year from Canadian charities. So, one foreign university received about 1.5 times more than all

Indigenous Groups in Canada. One Christian religious private foundation in Cambridge, Ontario, in

2018 received more than twice what all the Indigenous groups in Canada received.

While there is a growing awareness of how wealth has been accumulated in Canada through the

dispossession of land, agriculture production, and the extraction of natural resources, much more needs

to be done to foster equity and reconciliation.

Here is the list of grants over $30,000 to Indigenous Groups in Canada from other Canadian charities in

2018. It is from the T3010 filings of registered charities and we have in a few cases inserted

geographic information where we know it and it is in italics.

Please review the caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information.

Limitations and Caveats

There are a number of cautions in dealing with the information from the T3010. You can access the

CRA Charities Listing database directly on the CRA website at: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-

agency/services/charities-giving/charities.html. As well, Blumbergs also maintains Canada's largest

charity information portal at www.CharityData.ca with up to 15 years information on every Canadian

registered charity. The portal is free and the aim is to increase transparency in the Canadian charity


https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/charities.html

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/charities.html

http://www.charitydata.ca/


22

sector. With CRA removing recently over 10 years’ worth of information from the Charities Listing,

www.CharityData.ca has far more years available.

1) The data in this note is based on the 2018 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return filings.

Although all charities are supposed to file their T3010 within 6 months of their fiscal year end, some

charities file late or do not file at all and then will lose their charitable status. Depending on the data

set from CRA, not every charity may have filed their T3010 or been inputted yet.

2) Registered charities complete the T3010 and one person signs the form. The T3010 information is

not independently verified by CRA when it is posted on the CRA site or placed in the CRA database.

3) Although an important legal document, the T3010 is often completed by volunteers or others who

may have little understanding of the nuances of the Income Tax Act (Canada), limited language skills,

may not have easy access to the correct information or are in a hurry to file the form to avoid

deregistration. In the case of larger institutions, it is typically accountants or finance staff who prepare

the T3010. One would expect greater accuracy with the larger institutions. However, as they also

tend to be more complicated and involve bigger numbers, the likelihood of a significant inaccuracy in

their T3010 filings is great.

4) The T3010s are filed with CRA and in many cases needs to be coded by hand at CRA which can

also introduce mistakes. Only a small number of T3010s have 2D bar code technology which can

eliminate most processing errors on CRA’s part. Canadian charities can as of June 2019

electronically file the T3010 under the CRA’s Charities My Business Account) which will hopefully

reduce errors and speeds up the process for T3010 data becoming available.

5) In some cases, those completing the T3010 for a charity are deliberately deceptive when

completing the T3010. For example, an organization knows that it has substantial fundraising or

political expenses but chooses to put them under charitable activities. Or an organization claims

pharmaceuticals that it can purchase for $50,000 are really worth $50 million.

6) Don’t rely on any of this information without checking with the charity and appropriate due diligence

as required.

7) The T3010 is a tax form which is supposed to be completed according to guidance provided by the

CRA in Guide Completing the Registered Charity Information Return (T-4033) and also various other

CRA guidances and policies. The information inputted may not conform to Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles (GAAP) and often the numbers will not match what is in a financial statement.

You can obtain copies of financial statements, whether audited or not, on any registered charity by

requesting the financial statements from CRA. These financial statements are filed with CRA but not

placed on the CRA website and they can sometimes add further information.

8) Some questions on the T3010 are more prone to error than others. Some questions are

complicated, while others are quite straightforward. Some matters are easily quantifiable, like value

of official donation receipts, while others require allocation and other subjective measurements. Some


http://www.charitydata.ca/

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/t4033.html


23

questions, like revenue, are answered by almost every charity and if a charity makes a mistake, the

likelihood is that such a mistake will not have much impact on the bigger picture. On the other hand,

some numbers like political expenditures by Canadian charities are often incorrectly completed and

even one or two charities by mistakenly inserting large numbers in this category can distort the

picture. With the 2012 numbers, the top 6 organizations listing political expenditures appear to be

all mistakes. This seems to have inflated the numbers by about 1000%. You can see my article “Did

the University of Windsor spend $285 million on political activities in 2012”. For the 2013 political

numbers were $171 million on the T3010. If one reviews the actual organizations, the number is

probably about $26 million. For 2017 the number is 28 million.

9) The T3010 asks certain questions. Many important questions are not asked on the T3010.

Relying on the T3010 to make decisions on whether a charity is efficient or worthwhile to support is

prone to failure. Blumbergs have established a website at www.smartgiving.ca which discusses in

detail questions donors may want to ask before donating to charity.

This article is for information purposes only. It is not intended to be legal advice. You should not act or abstain from

acting based upon such information without first consulting a legal professional.
