Centre de la Famille du Grand St-Jérome

Centre de la Famille du Grand St-Jérome is a charitable organization based in Saint-Jerome, 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $500K in revenue and $581K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 72% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $90K.

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 19% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $282K in 2020 to $500K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
