Southwest Alberta Sustainable Community Initiative Centre is a charitable organization based in Pincher Creek, Alberta, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $262K in revenue and $209K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 61% from government, 13% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $39K.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 65% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 100% of that peer group.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $154K in 2020 to $262K in 2024.
