Well - not quite.   The way it works is there needs to be a source of revenue supporting the organization in order for the federal government to provide funds for projects etc.   This makes sense, if you think about it, in order to avoid situations where the feds basically run NGOs and non-profits -- thereby becoming lawyer, judge and jury, so to speak.   It may be that Innocence Canada wasn't paying enough attention to this issue and not diversifying their donor base enough and got caught short.    Anyway, it is good that they are keeping their doors open with they help of newfound sources of donor funds.   It's important work.
