Productions Ciel Variable Inc is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 May 31, 2024, it reported $328K in revenue and $373K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 68% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2,448.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 49% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
