Veith House 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $852K in revenue and $820K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 63% from government, 8% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 18 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $171K.
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 69% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 85% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 9 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $543K in 2020 to $852K in 2024.
