Fondation Miroir Foundation is a public foundation based in Ottawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under foundations. 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 $47K in revenue and $53K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,200.
Compared with 38 grantmaking institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 10% of peers.
As a grantmaker, it reported gifts to 3 qualified donees totalling $28K in 2024, the largest being $10K to Royal Ottawa Place. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $111K in 2020 to $47K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
