Fondation de Danse Margie Gillis/margie Gillis Dance Foundation is a private foundation based in Montreal, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $349K in revenue and $477K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
