La Societe Alzheimer de l'Estrie

La Societe Alzheimer de l'Estrie is a charitable organization based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, classified by the CRA under core health care.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $3.2M in revenue and $1.7M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 42% from donations, 52% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 17 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $467K.
