Main Street Project Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $13M in revenue and $12.9M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 55% from government, 36% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 38 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.6M.

Compared with 115 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 93% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 183 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $7.1M in 2020 to $13M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
