Red Deer Hospice Society is a charitable organization based in Red Deer, 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 $4.9M in revenue and $4.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 30% from donations, 59% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 25 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $744K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 85% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 83% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 12 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.7M in 2020 to $4.9M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 13 names.
