Centre Philou is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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, 2024, it reported $3.4M in revenue and $3.4M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 51% from government, 29% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 12 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $5M.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 39 permanent full-time positions.
