Petites-Mains is a charitable organization based in Montréal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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.

Its funding that year was roughly 47% from government, 6% from other charities. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $415K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 17% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 45 permanent full-time positions.
