Wen Wei Dance Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 $208K in revenue and $174K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $18K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 26% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 82% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range.
