River Bourgeois Mariner Society is a charitable organization based in River Bourgeois, Nova Scotia, 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 $26K in revenue and $32K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations, 51% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 521 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 73% of peers.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $50 in 2024, the largest being $50 to Royal Canadian Legion ST Peters # 47 Poppy Fund. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2,802 in 2020 to $26K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
In its own words
On a volunteer and non-profit basis the objectives of the Society are to provide and maintain a docking and launching facility for the benefit of the River Bourgeois community.
