If there are almost 10,000 registered foundations in Canada, why does the Directory only have 3,000-3,500 listings?

There are close to 10,000 nonprofit organizations in Canada registered as either a private foundation or a public foundation. Many of these were created to generate funds for specific organizations such as a hospital or a university. We only include foundations that are relevant to grant-seekers. It is our policy to only include foundations in the Directory if they have a history of making grants within Canada to more than one or two designated charities.
