Clean Nova Scotia Foundation is a charitable organization based in Dartmouth, 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 $33M in revenue and $32.4M in expenditures.

Compared with 115 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 73% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 171 permanent full-time positions.
