Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winterton, Newfoundland and Labrador, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $205K in revenue and $252K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 50% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $48.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 94% of that peer group.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $404K in 2020 to $205K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
