Step By Step Early Intervention Society is a charitable organization based in Calgary, Alberta, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $2.7M in revenue and $2.8M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 92% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 6 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $57K.
Compared with 829 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 53% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 77% of that peer group. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (6 positions in that band). The charity reported 28 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $1M in 2020 to $2.7M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 4 names.
