Delta Marine Rescue Society is a charitable organization based in Delta, British Columbia, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $162K in revenue and $197K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
