AIRS Program Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $193K in revenue and $216K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 99% of peers.
