Winnipeg International Children's Festival Inc. is a charitable organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 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, 2023, it reported $402K in revenue and $590K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 53% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $189K.
