The Art Gallery of Peterborough is a charitable organization based in Peterborough, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $1.5M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures.
