Victim Services Unit (association) - Sturgeon Region is a charitable organization based in Morinville, 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 December 31, 2024, it reported $112K in revenue and $356K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 99% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $1,371.
Compared with 1,147 community-service institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 12% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was higher than 93% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 2 permanent full-time positions.
It reported gifts to 6 qualified donees totalling $210K in 2024, the largest being $48K to Morinville Food Bank. Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $178K in 2020 to $112K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
