Alpha-Nicolet (service d'Education Populaire en Alphabetisation) is a charitable organization based in Nicolet, Quebec, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $345K in revenue and $401K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 97% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 29% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
