The Naomi Society is a charitable organization based in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $750K in revenue and $634K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 92% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $30K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 93% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 5 permanent full-time positions.
