Fort Sackville Foundation is a charitable organization based in Bedford, Nova Scotia, 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 $48K in revenue and $43K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 13% from donations, 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,476.
Compared with 521 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 60% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 87% of that peer group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $26K in 2020 to $48K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
