Dze L K'Ant Friendship Centre Society is a charitable organization based in Smithers, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $5.4M in revenue and $4.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 85% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $172K.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 86% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 35 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1.8M in 2020 to $5.4M in 2024.
