Ace Art Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $154K in revenue and $197K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $117K.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 19% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 93% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $479K in 2020 to $154K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
