Questions and answers
- What does it mean for grant money to stay in-province?
- It is the share of grants made by funders based in Quebec that reached charities also located in Quebec, rather than charities elsewhere. A high share means local funders mostly back local causes; a low one means the money largely leaves.
- Is Quebec a major grantmaking province?
- Quebec ranks 2nd of the 13 provinces and territories by grant dollars from resident funders. The largest are Ontario and Quebec; the most outward, where the most money leaves, is Nunavut.
- How can a charity find funders in Quebec?
- Start with the largest grantmakers based in Quebec, currently Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal / La Fondation Communautaire Juive de Montréal and L'Église Adventiste du Septième Jour-Fédération du Québec / Seventh-Day Adventist Church Quebec Conference. Funders from other provinces also reach in, led by Canadahelps Canadon.
- How recent is this Quebec grant data?
- It is read from the FY2017–2023 T3010 returns, summed across them. A charity files its T3010 within six months of its year end, so the latest year is still filling in.
