The Sagewell Association is a charitable organization based in Halifax, 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 $125K in revenue and $140K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 73% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $24K.
Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
