Festival Transameriques is a charitable organization based in Montréal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under 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 $4.9M in revenue and $4.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $41K.
Compared with 90 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 24% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 13 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $3M in 2020 to $4.9M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 15 names.
