Découverte Charlevoix is a charitable organization based in La Malbaie, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $995K in revenue and $815K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 18% from government. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $9,415.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 22% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $315K in 2020 to $995K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
