2B Theatre Association is a charitable organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under education in the arts. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $585K in revenue and $733K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 21% from donations, 67% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $25K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 47% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (7 positions in that band). The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $1.1M in 2020 to $585K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
