Wetaskiwin and District Victim Services Society is a charitable organization based in Wetaskiwin, 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $480K in revenue and $553K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 96% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2,500.
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 25% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 9 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $312K in 2020 to $480K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 10 names.
