Chabad of Downtown Montreal has served its community for 47 years and channels 86.3% of expenditures directly into programs, well above the 54.6% median for comparable community-benefit organizations. Revenue has nearly doubled over the past five filing years to $662,400, though a historical 53.8% revenue drop and ongoing volatility suggest the organization relies on lumpy donation streams rather than stable institutional funding.
Our Verdict: A well-established Montreal community organization with strong program delivery and lean operations, though donors should be aware that revenue has been volatile year-to-year despite the overall upward trend.
