Fondation pour la biodiversité et la faune du Québec is a public foundation based in Quebec, Quebec, 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $18.7M in revenue and $15.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 61% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 15 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1M.
Compared with 23 grantmaking institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 26% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 79% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 26 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $10.7M in 2020 to $18.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 1 name.
