Ecole Plein Soleil l'Association Cooperative is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $5.4M in revenue and $5.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 40% from government.

Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 86% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 42 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 2 qualified donees totalling $915 in 2024, the largest being $755 to Breakfast Club of Canada. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $3.2M in 2020 to $5.4M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
