Health Equity Alliance of Nova Scotia is a charitable organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under supportive health care. 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 $631K in revenue and $629K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 20% from donations, 74% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $42K.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 13% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (7 positions in that band). The charity reported 8 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $280K in 2020 to $631K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
