Cuisines de l'Amitié is a charitable organization based in Brossard, 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 $600K in revenue and $546K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 67% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2021, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $25K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 94% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
