Autism Calgary Association is a charitable organization based in Calgary, Alberta, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1.4M in revenue and $1.5M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 20% from donations, 64% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 34 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $473K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 47% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 91% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (2 positions in that band).
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
