Lacombe & District Historical Society is a charitable organization based in Lacombe, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $338K in revenue and $378K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 26% from donations, 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $5,215.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 81% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 78% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 12 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $201K in 2020 to $338K in 2024.
