Pacific Post-Partum Support Society is a charitable organization based in Burnaby, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. 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 $398K in revenue and $460K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 15% from donations, 66% from government, 14% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 9 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $118K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 40% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 89% of that peer group.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
