Association de la Fibromyalgie de l'Estrie

Association de la Fibromyalgie de l'Estrie is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $333K in revenue and $379K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
