Éco-Maris is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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 October 31, 2024, it reported $2.4M in revenue and $2.3M in expenditures.

Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 10% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
