Thompson Zoological Society Inc. is a charitable organization based in Thompson, Manitoba, 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, 2023, it reported $74K in revenue and $109K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 54% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $30K.
Compared with 537 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 77% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $120K in 2020 to $74K in 2023. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
