Presentation House Cultural Society is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 $1.1M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $54K.
Compared with 90 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 21% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 88% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (6 positions in that band). The charity reported 9 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
