Fusion Jeunesse / Youth Fusion is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $4.8M in revenue and $5.7M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 20% from donations, 51% from government, 29% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 9 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.5M.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 30 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
