La magie des mots is a charitable organization based in Coteau-Du-Lac, 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 May 31, 2024, it reported $252K in revenue and $250K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 21% from donations, 73% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $6.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 16% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 5 permanent full-time positions.
