The Presbyterian college Montreal is a charitable organization based in Montreal, 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. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1.7M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 18% from donations, 7% from other charities. In 2024, 14 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $226K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 29% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 7 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $886K in 2020 to $1.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
