Maison des sourds is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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 December 31, 2021, it reported $1.2M in revenue and $1.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $62K.
Compared with 1,422 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 33% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 95% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
