Corporation L'Espoir is a charitable organization based in Lasalle, 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 $1.2M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 6% from donations, 69% from government, 12% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $278K.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 8% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 11 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
