Espace DesPrés is a charitable organization based in Sutton, Quebec, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $228K in revenue and $223K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 19% from donations, 65% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $5,703.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 87% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 80% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $438K in 2020 to $228K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
