Trans County Transportation Society (tcts) is a charitable organization based in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under relief of the aged. 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 $412K in revenue and $538K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $12K.
Compared with 66 seniors' institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 26% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
