The Lethbridge Jazz Society is a charitable organization based in Lethbridge, Alberta, 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 $31K in revenue and $42K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $62.
Compared with 673 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $600 in 2020 to $31K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
In its own words
We continued to provide regular jazz performances throughout the community educating the public in music performance and compositions as well as increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation of the arts.
