www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Which Canadian charities had the largest assets in 2015? By Mark Blumberg (June 10, 2017) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2015. It covers about 84,442 of the 86,000 registered charities that have so far filed their return and that have been entered into the CRA’s database. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 their assets. The total assets of all the 84,442 registered charities were about $397,833,310,726.00. Below we have a table of Canadian charities that had assets of over $10 million as identified for the 2015 fiscal year. Thank you to Celeste Bonas, an intern at Blumbergs, for helping with this project. The Sean Blumberg Transparency Project is in memory of my youngest brother Sean Blumberg. Sean was a sweet, kind person, a great brother who helped me on a number of occasions with many tasks including the time consuming and arduous task of reviewing T3010 databases and making them into something useful. As part of the Sean Blumberg Transparency Project, Blumbergs has been releasing information on the Canadian charity sector to provide a better understanding of the size, scope, complexity and challenges of the sector. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information. 1 www.canadiancharitylaw.ca List of Canadian charities with the largest assets in 2015 Line 4200 Name of Canadian Registered Charity Largest assets 1.
