Diversecities Community Service Association is a charitable organization based in Calgary, Alberta, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $797K in revenue and $1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 24% from donations, 69% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 5 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $32K.
Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 20 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $1.2M in 2020 to $797K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
