Studio 303 is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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 $478K in revenue and $483K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 7% from donations, 72% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $8,810.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
