Interior Health Authority is a charitable organization based in Kelowna, 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 $3.9B in revenue and $3.9B in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 94% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 18 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $24.5M.
Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 16% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $350,000 and over range (10 positions in that band). The charity reported 10,327 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.5B in 2020 to $3.9B in 2024.
