Burning Passions Theatre is a charitable organization based in Ottawa, Ontario, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $76K in revenue and $79K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 7% from donations, 50% from government, 14% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $72K.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 22% of peers.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $162K in 2020 to $76K in 2024.
