Kaatza Historical Society is a charitable organization based in Lake Cowichan, 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 $163K in revenue and $218K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 86% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $3,000.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $76K in 2020 to $163K in 2024.
