Sick Muse Art Projects is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, 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 October 31, 2024, it reported $231K in revenue and $301K 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 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $9,507.
