Brooklyn Volunteer Fire Department is a charitable organization based in Newport, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $795K in revenue and $598K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,028.
Compared with 1,147 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 42% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 82% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
