Café Le Signet is a charitable organization based in Laval, Quebec, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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, 2023, it reported $415K in revenue and $495K 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. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $53.
Compared with 1,183 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 35% 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 declined over its filings on record here, from $697K in 2020 to $415K in 2023. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
