Foothills Country Hospice Society is a charitable organization based in Okotoks, Alberta, classified by the CRA under core health care. 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 $4M in revenue and $3.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 26% from donations, 52% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 16 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1.2M.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 30% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 76% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 12 names.
