Revenue model

1. Donations and charitable contributions: The CABB receives donations from individuals, corporations, and community organizations. A donation of $20,000 was received from the Centre des générations de Boucherville via the Grenier des Aubaines in 2025. Receipts for charitable donations are issued for contributions of $20 or more.
2. Government grants and subsidies: The organization receives government funding, including subsidies from ROMAN/Appui Montérégie for close caregiver services, ITMAV (Initiatives de travail de milieu auprès des aînés vulnérables) for senior support, and the Canada Revenue Agency / Revenu Québec for the income-tax assistance program.
3. Client fees for services: Some services generate modest fees, including the Popote roulante meal delivery ($8.00/complete meal), self-service frozen meals ($5 individual / $10 family format), and accompaniment-transport services. These fees contribute to operational costs.
4. Retail merchandise sales: An online boutique sells promotional merchandise related to the Semaine de l'action bénévole (e.g., photo-frame magnets, red balloons, notebooks, water bottle/lanyard sets, pins, folders, bookmarks/rulers), providing a small revenue stream.

Broad incumbents

• Proche aidance Québec: A provincial government resource portal and service network supporting caregivers across Quebec. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering caregiver information, referral, and support services overlapping with CABB's caregiver support mandate, though at provincial rather than municipal scope.
• L'Appui pour les proches aidants: The Quebec-wide funding and resource body supporting caregivers, which funds CABB's caregiver support service via ROMAN/Appui Montérégie. Comparable as a broader incumbent that funds and shapes caregiver services across the province, overlapping with CABB's caregiver-support offering.
• Centraide du Grand Montréal: A major fundraising and grant-distribution organization that supports many of Quebec's community nonprofits including volunteer-action centers. Comparable as a broader social-services player that funnels donor dollars to the same type of community-based organizations CABB operates.

Others

• Fédération des Centres d'action bénévole du Québec (FCABQ): The provincial federation under which CABB operates as a member. Comparable as the umbrella body coordinating the same CAB model across Quebec, organizing initiatives like the Semaine de l'action bénévole and providing shared advocacy and training for member centers.
• Regroupement des popotes roulantes du Québec: The provincial grouping of which CABB is a member, coordinating the annual Semaine québécoise des popotes roulantes. Comparable as the industry association for the meal-delivery model that CABB's Popote roulante operates, making it a thematic peer for the food-delivery service line.

Regional players

• Centre de bénévolat de la Rive-Sud (CBRS): A regional volunteer-action center covering the Montérégie's South Shore, including a partnership with CABB for the SécuriCAB welfare-call program. Operates the same CAB model at a multi-municipality scale, making it a directly comparable regional peer.

Direct peers

• Moisson Rive-Sud: A food-bank organization serving the Montérégie's South Shore that provides surplus food to CABB's Popote roulante. Operates a parallel food-security mission (recovery, redistribution) in the same geographic region, making it a directly comparable peer on the food-security side.
• Centre d'action bénévole de Longueuil: A nearby CAB serving Longueuil on the South Shore of Montreal, operating the same volunteer-action-center model as CABB — including volunteer matching, food services, and community support. Highly comparable as a same-model peer in an adjacent municipality.
• Centre d'action bénévole de Montréal: A larger Centre d'action bénévole in Montreal serving the same volunteer-action-center model as CABB, providing volunteer matching, food services, psychosocial support, and community-based services to local residents. It is the most directly comparable peer by mandate, structure, and service mix.

Emerging players

• Société de l'Alzheimer de la Rive-Sud: A regional Alzheimer Society serving the Montérégie's South Shore that partners with CABB on volunteer recruitment for residence activities involving Alzheimer's patients. Comparable as a specialized social-services peer operating in CABB's geographic area and intersecting on senior and caregiver support.
