Tobermory Primary Place is a charitable organization based in Tobermory, Ontario, 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 $357K in revenue and $461K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 62% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $5,098.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 79% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 80% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $202K in 2020 to $357K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
