CGC Volunteer Fire Department is a charitable organization based in Gunning Cove Shelburne County, 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 $335K in revenue and $73K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 26% from donations, 56% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 3 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 6% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 85% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $63K in 2020 to $335K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
