Redd Fish Restoration Society is a charitable organization based in Ucluelet, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under environment. 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 $3.8M in revenue and $3.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 65% from government, 17% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $343K.
Compared with 28 environmental institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 26% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 75% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 25 permanent full-time positions.
