C.H.A.N.C.E.S. Inc. channels over three-quarters of its $13.9 million budget into compensation — an unusually high ratio that reflects its staffing-intensive model delivering health and social programs across Prince Edward Island. With 24 years of continuous registration, 100% program spending, and double-digit revenue growth, this Charlottetown-based organization demonstrates strong operational fundamentals despite the eye-catching payroll figure.
Our Verdict: A well-established PEI health and community services provider with an A+ trust grade. The high compensation ratio is consistent with a direct-service delivery model where staff salaries are the program — donors can give with confidence that funds are reaching the front lines.
