Winnipeg Film Group Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 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 $1.1M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
