OVERVIEW
About Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation:
Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation is a 1-star charity. It has a C- in results reporting, meaning it lacks information on the results of its grants. The charity has $15.9m in funding reserves that can cover granting for over 8 years.
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. Cape Breton Regional Hospital sees approximately 600,000 patients each year. The Cape Breton Cancer Centre, part of Cape Breton Regional Hospital, has more than 45,000 visits per year.
In F2021, the foundation granted $817k to Nova Scotia Health authority, of which $648k went toward patient care/support and $169k went toward equipment/facility enhancements. The foundation granted also $5k to other organizations in F2021 (see note below: Ci adjusted for changes in grants payable to NSHA).
CBRHF’s Cancer Patient Care fund supports approximately 45 patients per month. The fund helps cover the cost of travel to medical appointments, home bills, and other supports like therapy, yoga, and counseling. In F2021, CBRHF purchased a new echocardiogram machine for the hospital. This machine will serve approximately 5,000 heart patients and 600 cancer patients each year.

Results and Impact
CBRHF reports that since 1998, cancer diagnoses on the Island have increased by 135 percent, and patient visits to its Cancer Centre have more than tripled. In F2021, construction began on the new Cape Breton Cancer Centre, which will be more than double the size of the original Cancer Centre.
While Charity Intelligence highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Cape Breton Regional Health Foundation’s impact.

Finances
CBRHF received $3.1m in donations and special event revenues in F2021. Its administrative costs were 13% of total revenues and its fundraising costs were 21% of donations. This results in total overhead spending of 34%. In F2021, for every dollar donated, 66 cents went to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
The charity has total funding reserves of $15.9m. This includes $6.9m in donor-endowed funding reserves. Excluding donor-endowed funds, the charity could grant for nearly 20 years at the F2021 level or 8.2 years at the 3-year average granting level.
