Société des Mélomanes de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a charitable organization based in Rouyn-Noranda, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $327K in revenue and $444K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 54% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $4,124.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 93% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band).
