MAI (Montréal arts interculturels) is a charitable organization 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 July 31, 2024, it reported $1.4M in revenue and $1.6M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (10 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
