Leecaring Communities Foundation

Leecaring Communities Foundation is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, 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 $17M in revenue and $18.9M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Its funding that year was roughly 71% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $13K.

Compared with 538 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 76% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $120,000–159,999 range (4 positions in that band).
