Cardston Support Services Association is a charitable organization based in Cardston, Alberta, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $3.3M in revenue and $3.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 92% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $19.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 45% of peers.
