The Mountain Cemetery Company is a charitable organization based in Greenwood., Nova Scotia, 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 September 30, 2024, it reported $1,834 in revenue and $4,149 in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 90% from donations, 164% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 163 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 80% of peers.
