West Parry Sound District Museum is a charitable organization based in Parry Sound, 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 $300K in revenue and $374K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $3,500.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 21% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
