The Community House is not part of the township, and receives no government funding. It operates strictly on donations and venue rental income.

In April, the Community House projected it would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly have to close if the coronavirus pandemic continued for too long. It has raised money through a Facebook fundraiser and at its website.

It also received a $5,000 donation from the Moorestown Improvement Association and through a partnership with Cambridge Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center (Lutheran Crossings).
