Arts Umbrella Association, a 46-year-old performing arts education charity in Vancouver, earns a B grade with some governance and efficiency concerns. An oversized 23-member board, 75.7% program ratio below the 83% peer median, and 14.6% admin ratio suggest the organization's governance and cost structure have not kept pace with its growth to $13.2M in revenue, though steady 6.2% growth indicates sustained community support for its arts programming.
Our Verdict: A well-established community benefit organization in Vancouver, BC, with 46 years of operating history and 76% of spending going to programs — well-positioned to steward donations effectively.
