Arborescence Québec is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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 $1.3M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government, 39% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $438K.
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 19% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 29 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $565K in 2020 to $1.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
