Quinte West Public Library is a charitable organization based in Trenton, Ontario, 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 $89K in revenue and $1.7M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 100% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $858.
Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $1.7M in 2020 to $89K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
