Halifax Community Chaplaincy Society is a charitable organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under support of religion. 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 $44K in revenue and $69K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 97% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $3,433.
Compared with 68 religious institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 52% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $127K in 2020 to $44K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
