Upper Canada Choristers is a North York-based community choir that has operated for 30 years, directing over 90% of its expenditures to programming while keeping fundraising costs at zero. The organization is currently running a modest deficit, spending about $5,300 more than it earns, which bears watching but is not unusual for performing arts groups navigating post-pandemic audience recovery.

Our Verdict: A well-established community choir with strong program spending and lean operations, though donors should note the current deficit spending — the organization is drawing down reserves to cover a gap between revenue and costs.
