The 605 Collective Dance Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under education in the 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 $326K in revenue and $438K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 72% from government, 12% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,396.
