Le Theatre de la Banquette Arriere 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $118K in revenue and $137K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 69% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $5,686.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 60% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $30K in 2020 to $118K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
