Fondation Le Pilier is a charitable organization based in Laval, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $11.5M in revenue and $10.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 72% from government, 7% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 19 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $907K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 14% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 86% of that peer group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $7.6M in 2020 to $11.5M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
