Corporation du Musée de la Nation Wendat

Corporation du Musée de la Nation Wendat is a charitable organization based in Wendake, Quebec, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.2M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 59% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $3,158.

Compared with 276 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 23% of peers. 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 (6 positions in that band).
