Crimson Coast Dance Society is a charitable organization based in Nanaimo, 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 September 30, 2024, it reported $453K in revenue and $551K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
