Parkdale Nifty Fifties Seniors Association is a charitable organization based in Calgary, Alberta, classified by the CRA under relief of the aged. 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 $385K in revenue and $496K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 55% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,921.
