Dessercom Inc is a charitable organization based in Levis, Quebec, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $122.2M in revenue and $116.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 95% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 27% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $250,000–299,999 range. The charity reported 431 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 14 qualified donees totalling $3.1M in 2024, the largest being $1.3M to Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de Chaudière-Appalaches. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
