North Vancouver City Library is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, 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 $5.7M in revenue and $5.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 97% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $7,059.
Compared with 276 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 29 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
