Association des personnes handicapées visuelles de l'Estrie is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $143K in revenue and $159K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 79% from government, 9% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 31% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
