Camber Arts Incorporated is a charitable organization based in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, classified by the CRA under arts.

In its fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, it reported $586K in revenue and $509K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $103K.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 57% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 89% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
