Shepherd's CARE Foundation is a charitable organization 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $72M in revenue and $69.1M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 67% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 8 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $144K.
Compared with 427 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 79% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 78% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $250,000–299,999 range. The charity reported 201 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
