The Greater Trail Area Creative Activities Centre Society for the Visual Arts is a charitable organization based in Trail, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 $141K in revenue and $159K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 44% from donations, 16% from government. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $6,295.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 1% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 92% of that peer group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $40K in 2020 to $141K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
