Where Canadian charities reported grant activities

Look up reported Canadian grant disbursements by country and see how much of the source remains unallocated.

This edition summarizes Form T1441 records linked to 1,936 annual filing periods ending in 2023 or 2024. The form covers grants by registered charities to other grantees. It asks for individual grants where the charity gave that grantee more than CAD 5,000 in total during the fiscal period. The same filer supplies both the grants form and the annual return.

Across the two editions, CAD 285,339,179.00 of CAD 1,994,857,548.00 in reported cash is shown by country. The coverage table below shows why the rest stays unallocated.

The country field describes where the filer says grant activities took place. The figures are filer-reported disbursements. Recipient receipts, final spending, participant reach and outcomes each require separate evidence.

Reported and unallocated amounts

Country totals and the unallocated amount partition the reported total within each year and amount type. The unallocated amount includes blank or unmatched country fields, regional or multi-place entries, and countries below the publication threshold. A blank field leaves the country unknown. Noncash amounts use the filer’s reported fair market value. Blank amount fields are excluded from sums and counted separately. Reported zeros and negative amounts are retained.

What the source covers

Each worksheet row must match a unique annual return by exact charity account, fiscal period end and form version. The worksheet sequence must be a distinct positive number within that period and form. Country names and codes match the published English or French code list. Multi-place records stay together, and regional codes remain outside country totals.
