Eye Disease Foundation is a charitable organization based in Québec, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $4.3M in revenue and $3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 88% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,460.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 40% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 82% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.1M in 2020 to $4.3M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
