Centre au puits 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 $348K in revenue and $276K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 68% from government, 18% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $13K.
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 66% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $230K in 2020 to $348K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 3 names.
