Coco's place foundation is a private foundation based in Montreal-Ouest, Quebec, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $668K in revenue and $682K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from government. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $19K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 3% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 11 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $435K in 2020 to $668K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
