Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteer Organizations is a charitable organization based in Grand Pairie, Alberta, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $748K in revenue and $966K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 72% from government, 9% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $64K.
Compared with 1,147 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 20% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 17 permanent full-time positions.
