SOS Program Camrose (Service Options for Seniors) Society is a charitable organization based in Camrose, 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 December 31, 2023, it reported $90K in revenue and $128K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 17% from donations, 76% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $20.
Compared with 182 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 9% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
