Alberta Museums Association is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, classified by the CRA under public amenities. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.6M in revenue and $2.1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 90% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,946.
Compared with 276 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 19% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 8 permanent full-time positions.
