École de Cirque de Québec is a charitable organization based in Quebec, Quebec, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $4.5M in revenue and $3.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $28K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 41% 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 $80,000–119,999 range (3 positions in that band).
