Alima Centre de nutrition sociale périnatale/Alima Perinatal Social Nutrition Centre is a charitable organization based in Montréal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $2.3M in revenue and $2.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 53% from government, 37% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 17 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $823K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 9% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 86% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $160,000–199,999 range. The charity reported 17 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1.4M in 2020 to $2.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
