Sobriety House is a charitable organization based in Ottawa, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $383K in revenue and $562K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 13% from donations, 64% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $38K.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 89% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
