Namao Museum and Archive Society is a charitable organization based in Sturgeon County, Alberta, 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 $17K in revenue and $27K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 77% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 521 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 reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $200 in 2024, the largest being $200 to Leading Edge Running Club. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $97K in 2020 to $17K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
