The Nightingale Arts Council is a charitable organization based in Toronto, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $304K in revenue and $332K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 90% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $6,254.
Compared with 355 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 76% of peers. 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.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
In its own words
A space was created to encourage and promote public interest in the usual arts and to provide space for communications between artists and members of the public. The gallery has included an inclusive direction.
