QPIRG Revenues

Revenue 2010-2011

Fee Levy (79.08%)

Every semester, undergraduate and graduate students pay respective fee levies of $3.75 and $3.00 that go towards funding QPIRG McGill. Without student support, we would not be able to function as an organization. This amount reflect the fee-levy before opt-outs.

Fundraising (10.73%)

QPIRG does extra fundraising primarily for the purpose of putting on particular events (such as Social Justice Days, Rad Frosh, Culture Shock, and one-time events, including this year bringing socially conscious comedian Hari Kondabolu to Montreal) and to carry out particular projects, such as School Schmool and Convergence.

Funding for Paid Positions (10.19%)

We receive a number of grants for contract-based paid positions, such as the Rad Frosh coordinator, the CURE and Library Coordinators, and in the past year our Policy and Fundraising coordinators (6 months each). These grants come from a range of sources, including McGill Work Study, Emploi Quebec, and Young Canada Works.
