Dira-Estrie is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, classified by the CRA under relief of the aged. 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 $478K in revenue and $439K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 60% from government, 39% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $107K.
Compared with 66 seniors' institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 64% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $253K in 2020 to $478K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
