The Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival is a cultural organization where only 56.9% of expenditures reach programs — below the 67.7% peer median — while 42.6% goes to administration, raising questions about overhead efficiency. Despite strong revenue growth and 22 years of registration, the spending split is the central question donors should examine before supporting this Victoria-based arts festival.
Our Verdict: A long-established arts festival with growing revenue, but program spending below peer norms and a high administrative ratio mean donors should look carefully at where their dollars go before contributing.
