Founded in 1995, Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation (CBRHF) is the fundraising organization for Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA). NSHA includes Cape Breton Regional Hospital, the regional referral and trauma centre for Cape Breton Island, as well as New Waterford Consolidated Hospital and Glace Bay General Hospital. CBRHF reported three programs within its audited financial statements: Patient Care and Support, Equipment, and Grants to Other Organizations.

Patient Care and Support: CBRHF spent $830k on its Patient Care and Support program, representing 53% of program spending in F2022. Cape Breton Regional Hospital reports approximately 600,000 patient visits each year. The Cape Breton Cancer Centre, part of Cape Breton Regional Hospital, receives more than 45,000 patients each year. The Tom MacNeil Cancer Patient Care Fund helps between 45-60 cancer patients each month.

Equipment: CBRHF spent $576k on its Equipment program, representing 37% of total program spending in F2022. CBRHF received a new echocardiogram in February 2022. In F2022, more than 2,000 patients used the machine.

Finances

CBRHF received $4.2m in donations and special event revenues in F2022. Its administrative costs were 11% of revenue (excluding investment income) and its fundraising costs were 18% of donations. This results in total overhead spending of 29%. For every dollar donated, 71 cents are available to go to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range of overhead spending.

The charity has $16.2m in reserve funds, $5.8m is donor endowed. Excluding donor-endowed funds, CBRHF’s reserve funds can cover 853%, or eight years and six months of its annual program costs. This is a significant decrease compared to F2021, where reserve funds could cover 1,990%. This change is due to lower than average granting in F2021.  

This report is an update that was sent to Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
