What CCM Canada Charitable Foundation does

CCM Canada Charitable Foundation (中信慈善基金會) is the charitable arm of CCM Canada (加拿大中信 / Chinese Christian Mission Canada), a registered Canadian nonprofit organization founded in 1981 in Vancouver, British Columbia, as part of the global Chinese Christian Mission network originating in Detroit in 1961. The foundation and its parent organization provide community social services through six regional centers located in Burnaby (national headquarters), Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Montreal, serving primarily Chinese Canadians across new immigrants, families, seniors, children/youth, and individuals seeking mental health support. Service offerings span professional counseling (the LINKAGE program at $65-$150 per session with sliding scale), family education, spiritual formation, special needs family support, seniors and low-income services (including free tax clinic and IT help desk), children and youth programs, a free legal clinic, and publication-based literature ministry in Traditional and Simplified Chinese. The core technology is a community-based service delivery platform offering multilingual access (Cantonese, Mandarin, English) across in-person centers, a bilingual website, online registration, virtual counseling, and digital communications via YouTube and Facebook. The revenue model is a hybrid of donation-based giving (tithes, offerings, walkathon and charity tournament proceeds) and a small professional services stream from counseling fees, with no disclosed revenue figures. The organization relies heavily on volunteers and church partnerships as its primary go-to-market motion, with operational reach into smaller Canadian cities via the Small City Mission program.
