Popote Express Chicoutimi is a charitable organization based in Chicoutimi, 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 $152K in revenue and $134K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $7,604.
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 87% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $352K in 2020 to $152K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
