The Port Alberni Maritime Heritage Society has operated for 38 years as a steward of Vancouver Island's maritime history, directing every dollar of expenditure to its programs. With a stable nine-member board, zero fundraising overhead, and $750,000 in heritage assets, this small but enduring society punches well above its weight for a community organization running on $55,000 in annual revenue.

Our Verdict: A well-established and efficiently run heritage organization that directs 100% of spending to programs, backed by nearly four decades of continuous CRA registration and substantial asset holdings relative to its size.
