LES GRANDS FRERES ET LES GRANDES SOEURS DE la Montéregie inc.

LES GRANDS FRERES ET LES GRANDES SOEURS DE la Montéregie inc. is a charitable organization based in Saint-Hyacinthe, 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 $558K in revenue and $709K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 19% from donations, 80% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $101K.

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 19% of peers.
