Exshaw Library Society is a charitable organization based in Exshaw, Alberta, 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 $47K in revenue and $69K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $5,000.
Compared with 521 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 9% of peers.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $30K in 2020 to $47K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
