DreamRider Productions Society is a charitable organization based in Coquitlam, 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 July 31, 2024, it reported $340K in revenue and $471K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 57% from government, 15% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $27K.

Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 1 name.
