The ongoing maintenance of the 20 restored heritage buildings making up Battle Harbour National Historic District presents both challenges and opportunities for Battle Harbour Historic Trust Inc as a not-for-profit.

Revenues are currently earned by the Battle Harbour Historic Trust Inc. during the mid June to mid September season from sales of rooms, meals, tours and General Store items. Essential funds are also raised through volunteers' annual fund raising efforts, contributions to overheads earned on site-related projects and from the generous contributions of cash, service and goods from a group affectionately known as Friends of Battle Harbour – supportive visitors, guests, companies and government departments and agencies from Newfoundland and Labrador, other parts of Canada, the United States and from such distant and different shores to those of Labrador as Australia and Brazil.

BHHT Inc is however currently seeking additional contributions for its programs, service and projects. Tax receipts for Canadian and US residents are available for eligible donations valued at $10.00 or more made to BHHT Inc as a registered charity. In addition, all contributions are gratefully and sincerely acknowledged in periodic mailings through which we try to share news about this island getaway in the Labrador Sea.

Cash donations are gratefully accepeted on Battle Island and at our Head Office locations. Official tax receipts for cash, credit card, money order or cheque format donations received from Canadian residents will be issued by our Head Office. BHHT's registration number for this charitable status with Revenue Canada is 131701492RR0001.

On line donations through CanadaHelps portal service can be made using the button that appears on the bottom of this page. For additiona lniformation about this registered Canadian charity please see http://www.canadahelps.org/InfoPages/AboutUsOverview.aspx

Donations can also be made to Battle Harbour Historic Trust Inc through the Tides Doundation - a non-profit organization incorporated in both the United States and Canada. Donations of $US 1,000 US or more specified as being for use by BHHT Inc can be sent with a covering letter like the one posted below to Tides US headquarters in California.
