Université de Montréal 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 April 30, 2024, it reported $1.4B in revenue and $1.4B in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 69% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 116 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $45.7M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 69% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $350,000 and over range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 5,789 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 3 qualified donees totalling $270K in 2024, the largest being $200K to Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 23 names.
