Centre Signes d'Espoir is a charitable organization based in Quebec, Quebec, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $2M in revenue and $2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 95% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $54K.
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 56% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 23 permanent full-time positions.
