Options for Sexual Health is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under core 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 $2.2M in revenue and $2.6M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 5% from donations, 72% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 13 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $153K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 51% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
