Espace M is a charitable organization based in Magog, Quebec, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $807K in revenue and $807K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 11% from donations, 59% from government, 16% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 11 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $127K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 60% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (5 positions in that band). The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
