The Calgary Fetal Alcohol Network: An Alberta Story is a charitable organization based in Calgary, 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 $4.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 97% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $33K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 100% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 26 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 9 qualified donees totalling $2.7M in 2024, the largest being $801K to McMan Youth Family & Community Services Association. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $2.6M in 2020 to $4.9M in 2024.
