Association Éducative et Récréative des Aveugles is a charitable organization based in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $207K in revenue and $240K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 95% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2022, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 3% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $112K in 2020 to $207K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
