Richmond County Literacy Network Society is a charitable organization based in ST Peters, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $147K in revenue and $219K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 94% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $96.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $277K in 2020 to $147K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
