Fort ST. John Public Library Association is a charitable organization based in Fort ST. John, British Columbia, 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 $876K in revenue and $1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 93% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $18K.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 73% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
