Jamais lu is a Montreal-based arts and education organization that has grown from $350K to $591K in revenue over its 12-year history, channelling 83.8% of expenditures to programs — well above the 74% peer median for shelters and crisis housing organizations. Revenue volatility of 33.1% is the primary concern, reflecting the grant-dependent funding cycles typical of arts organizations.
Our Verdict: A young but well-managed arts education organization that punches above its weight on program delivery and keeps compensation remarkably lean at 18.8% of revenue. Revenue swings are a structural reality for grant-funded arts organizations, not a sign of mismanagement.
