Le Centre Culturel is a charitable organization based in Alexandria, 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 March 31, 2023, it reported $416K in revenue and $625K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 72% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 347 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 1% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 8 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 7 qualified donees totalling $118K in 2022, the largest being $50K to La Fondation de l'Hopital Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
