École nationale de cirque is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under arts.

Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $640K.
Compared with 90 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 38% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range.
