Le Conseil des Arts de Hearst is a charitable organization based in Hearst, 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, 2024, it reported $589K in revenue and $658K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 51% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $47K.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 23% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $1.6M in 2020 to $589K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
