Crowsnest Pass Literacy Foundation is a charitable organization based in Blairmore, Alberta, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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, 2022, it reported $12K in revenue and $56K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 50% from donations, 50% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget.
Compared with 839 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 51% of peers.
It reported gifts to 9 qualified donees totalling $24K in 2022, the largest being $5,000 to Friends of the Crowsnest Pass Community Library. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $28K in 2020 to $12K in 2022.
