Oxfam-Quebec is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under foundations. 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 $44.9M in revenue and $44.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 10% from donations, 78% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 54 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.5M.
Compared with 23 grantmaking institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 22% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 79 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $29.1M in 2020 to $44.9M in 2024.
