GRAMEN: Groupe d'amitié et d'entrepreneuriat is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $143K in revenue and $198K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 9% from donations, 77% from government, 11% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $56K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 92% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 6 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $352K in 2022 to $143K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
