Progressive Inter-Cultural Community Services Society is a charitable organization based in Surrey, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under foundations. 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 $21.1M in revenue and $20.2M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 70% from government, 10% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $831K.
Compared with 23 grantmaking institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 83% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 93% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $200,000–249,999 range. The charity reported 353 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $9.8M in 2020 to $21.1M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
