Calgary Animated Objects Society is a charitable organization based in Calgary, Alberta, 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 February 28, 2024, it reported $209K in revenue and $353K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
