Groupe régional d'intervention sociale de l'Estrie (GRIS Estrie)

Groupe régional d'intervention sociale de l'Estrie (GRIS Estrie) is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $207K in revenue and $233K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
