Jazz Sudbury is a charitable organization based in Sudbury, Ontario, 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 $75K in revenue and $74K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 61% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $11K.
Compared with 89 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 62% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
