The John Howard Society of North Island is a charitable organization based in Campbell River, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 $12.6M in revenue and $11.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 19% from donations, 76% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $97K.
Compared with 115 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 33% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 84% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $160,000–199,999 range (2 positions in that band). The charity reported 111 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $7.8M in 2020 to $12.6M in 2024.
