Operation Sharing of Woodstock

Operation Sharing of Woodstock is a charitable organization based in Woodstock, Ontario, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $1.6M in revenue and $1.9M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 26% from donations, 65% from government, 8% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 34 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $427K.

Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 99% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.

It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $5,000 in 2024, the largest being $5,000 to United Way of Oxford. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $752K in 2020 to $1.6M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
