Centre de Référence du Grand Montréal 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 $4.6M in revenue and $4.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 88% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $596K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 61% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 57 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.6M in 2020 to $4.6M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
