Theaturtle 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $24K in revenue and $7,026 in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 89% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $364.
Compared with 89 arts institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 4% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $166K in 2022 to $24K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 3 names.
