Fonds d'Action Saint-Laurent 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 $1.7M in revenue and $1.7M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 93% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $3,409.
Compared with 47 grantmaking institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 85% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range.
As a grantmaker, it reported gifts to 9 qualified donees totalling $562K in 2024, the largest being $162K to Comite Zone d'Intervention Prioritaire (zip) du Haut Saint-Laurent.
