Connections for Families Society is a private foundation 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 $1.7M in revenue and $1.6M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 87% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $78K.
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 29% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 15 permanent full-time positions.
