L'Alternative - Soutien Psychosocial is a charitable organization based in Quebec, Quebec, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $192K in revenue and $231K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 92% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2022, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $38K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 43% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
