Université Laval is a charitable organization based in Quebec, 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 $1.3B in revenue and $1.3B in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 67% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 46 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $7.8M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 45% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $350,000 and over range. The charity reported 4,022 permanent full-time positions.
