Essex County Library Board is a charitable organization based in Essex, Ontario, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $7.1M in revenue and $7.4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 99% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,000.
Compared with 276 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 49% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 95% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 36 permanent full-time positions.
