Psalm 23 Transition Society is a charitable organization based in Clinton, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $207K in revenue and $352K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 30% from donations, 57% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,256.
Compared with 739 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 81% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $510K in 2020 to $207K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
