Ottawa Little Theatre is one of Canada's oldest community theatre companies, with 59 years of continuous CRA registration and an A+ trust grade. Revenue volatility from the pandemic era has largely resolved, with the latest filing showing $1.41M in revenue and a lean 12.1% compensation ratio that reflects the volunteer-driven model typical of community theatre.
Our Verdict: A well-established cultural institution with strong program spending, very low compensation costs, and generous reserves — a reliable choice for donors supporting community arts in the Ottawa region.
