Société des musées du Québec is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $1.4M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures.
