Forward House Community Society is a charitable organization based in Parksville, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under supportive health care. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $501K in revenue and $556K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 12% from donations, 76% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $26K.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 24% of peers. None of its ten highest-paid positions cleared $40,000. The charity reported 16 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
