Parasports Québec

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $1.3M in revenue and $1.1M in expenditures.

Its funding that year was roughly 12% from donations, 76% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $63K.

Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 32% of peers.
