Association Bénévole Amitié is a Montréal-based health and community services organization where 90% of every dollar goes to compensation — a striking ratio that reflects its labour-intensive volunteer coordination and support model. With 42 years of continuous CRA registration and perfect legitimacy scores, this is one of Québec's most established benevolent associations, though donors should understand that staffing is effectively the entire program.
Our Verdict: A well-established organization with top-tier governance and high program spending, though its extreme compensation ratio means nearly all expenditures go to staff — typical for hands-on community service delivery but worth understanding before giving.
