Le diplôme avant la médaille is a charitable organization based in Quebec, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $1.4M in revenue and $1.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 51% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $229K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 81% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 22 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $356K in 2020 to $1.4M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
