Jasper Place Wellness Centre

Jasper Place Wellness Centre is a private foundation based in Edmonton, 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 $5.1M in revenue and $7.2M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 51% from government, 16% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 18 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $781K.

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 30% of peers. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (4 positions in that band). The charity reported 44 permanent full-time positions.

As a grantmaker, it reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $589 in 2024, the largest being $589 to Compassion Canada. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.7M in 2020 to $5.1M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 8 names.
