Revenue model

1. Government health system funding: Recurring funding from the Québec government (through the regional health authority, formerly Régie régionale, then Agence de développement de Montréal Centre, now CIUSSS) for abortion services. Since 2003, the Centre receives recurring funding for first-trimester abortion services, and since January 2008, the government guarantees complete cost-free access for abortion services at the Centre.
2. Donations and membership: Revenue from membership fees ($10/year or $200 lifetime membership) and monthly/one-time donations from the public. The 'Réseau des femmes de cœur' monthly donor program collects $3–50/month from supporters.
3. Service fees (for uninsured patients): Abortion services are free for patients covered by RAMQ, IFHP, other Canadian provincial insurance, and most foreign university students. For patients without coverage, fees are charged: $780 (6–13.6 weeks), $980 (14+ weeks), plus $300–350 for medication abortion drugs at the pharmacy.

Core offering

The Centre de santé des femmes de Montréal is a feminist community health organization offering sexual and reproductive health services to women in Montréal, including procedural and medical abortion, gynecology (contraception, IUD insertion, cervical cancer screening, STI testing and treatment), miscarriage management, sexual health education, and a multilingual information and referral hotline. All clinical services are delivered by an all-female staff using a feminist, non-judgmental, and community-driven care model, with services offered in French and English (interpreter service available on request).

Product overview

Centre de santé des femmes de Montréal is a feminist community health center offering an integrated suite of sexual and reproductive health services under one roof. The organization operates as a unified service portfolio rather than a software platform, comprising five core offerings: an Information and Reference Hotline for general gynecological health inquiries and referrals; an Abortion Clinic providing both procedural and medical (medication) abortion services; a Gynecology Clinic offering contraception, cervical cancer screening, and STI testing and treatment for women with existing medical files or those referred by partner organizations; Sexual and Reproductive Health Education and Training delivering popular education workshops to women and training sessions for professionals; and a Procedure for Terminated Pregnancy (miscarriage management) service providing both procedural and medical interventions. These services are unified by a feminist, holistic, and community-driven approach and are available in French and English.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerResearch partnership titled 'Contraception and immigration: Obstacles and levers to access to care' (Contraception et immigration : Obstacles et leviers d'accès aux soins). This participatory research project brings together a research team from UQAM and the Centre. The study examines the contraceptive practices of immigrant women and barriers to family planning access. It targets healthcare professionals who work with foreign-born women.
• Centres de santé des femmes du Québec networkcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Centre co-founded and co-maintains the 'Centres de santé des femmes du Québec' website alongside Clinique de santé des femmes de l'Outaouais and Centre de santé des femmes de la Mauricie. This is a Quebec-specific abortion resource site containing a decision-making guide, post-abortion support guide, history of abortion in Quebec, and other information.
• CLSC des FaubourgsminorOthersReferral partner for advanced gestational age abortions. Women with pregnancies older than 18 weeks are referred to the CLSC des Faubourgs (514 527-9565 #3674) for services beyond the Centre's gestational capacity.

Direct peers

• Women's Health Clinic: Winnipeg-based feminist community health clinic offering abortion, contraception, STI care, and sexual health education. Directly comparable to CSFM in mission, feminist positioning, and integrated service model across Canadian provinces.
• Clinique de santé des femmes de l'Outaouais: Co-founding partner of the Centres de santé des femmes du Québec network alongside CSFM. Provides an identical suite of abortion, contraception, gynecological, and educational services in the Outaouais region, making it the closest operational peer.
• SHORE Centre: Kitchener-Waterloo sexual health centre offering STI testing, contraception, pregnancy options, and education. Comparable as a community-based, multi-service sexual and reproductive health provider serving a defined Canadian region.
• Centre de santé des femmes de la Mauricie: Third co-founder of the Centres de santé des femmes du Québec network. Delivers the same feminist, community-based sexual and reproductive health services model as CSFM, but in the Mauricie region.
• Options for Sexual Health: British Columbia non-profit running clinics across the province offering contraception, STI testing, and pregnancy options counselling. Comparable as a Canadian provincial sexual health service network with a non-profit operating model.

Emerging players

• Head & Hands / À Deux Mains: Montréal non-profit providing health, social, and sexual health services to youth. Overlaps with CSFM on sexual health education and clinical services but focuses on a younger demographic in the same city.

Broad incumbents

• Action Canada for Sexual Health & Rights: National Canadian advocacy and education organization for sexual and reproductive health. While it does not run a clinic like CSFM, it shares the feminist, rights-based framing and is a system-level peer in the same ecosystem.
• Planned Parenthood: Large North American reproductive health organization operating many clinics. CSFM mirrors its mission of community-based, feminist reproductive care but at much smaller scale within a single Canadian province.

Regional players

• Clinique communautaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles: Montréal-based community clinic offering primary care with a strong community-mandate and feminist roots. Comparable as a Montréal-area community health organization operating under the CLSC/CIUSSS ecosystem with similar governance values.

Others

• Réseau québécois d'action pour la santé des femmes: Québec-wide feminist coalition advocating for women's health, including abortion access. Thematically aligned with CSFM's advocacy mission and a logical ecosystem partner for system-level policy work.
