Volunteer Centre of Calgary is a charitable organization based in Calgary, 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, 2024, it reported $704K in revenue and $856K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 44% from donations, 51% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $231K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 49% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
