Maison Plein Coeur

Maison Plein Coeur 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $822K in revenue and $1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 9% from donations, 87% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $109K.

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. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 75% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (10 positions in that band). The charity reported 15 permanent full-time positions.

Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $516K in 2020 to $822K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
