Theatre la Seizieme is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $1.3M in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 10% from donations, 71% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $50K.
Compared with 90 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 29% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $785K in 2020 to $1.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
