Funding

The core operational funding was historically provided through the Government of Nova Scotia, Department of Community Services. As of 2015, this now falls under the direction of Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women (NSACSW). This core funding covers approximately 85% of the budget. The remaining 15% is obtained through fundraising efforts of the Tearmann Society Board of Directors and community donations.
