Nanaimo Marine Rescue Society is a charitable organization based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under protective 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $153K in revenue and $223K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 13% from donations, 61% from government, 5% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $7,209.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 64% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $89K in 2020 to $153K in 2024.
