Oakhill and District Fire Department is a charitable organization based in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $436K in revenue and $534K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 53% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 1,147 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 93% 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 $269K in 2020 to $436K in 2024.
