Donors build community and impact through events

Calgary Health Foundation is committed to transparency in our reporting. Our Finance & Audit Committee of the Board ensures that we continue to operate both efficiently and effectively, while pursuing opportunities to grow our organization’s impact for our donors, our community and health care. We report financial information in two ways; Audited Financial Statements available on the Foundation’s website (calgaryhealthfoundation.ca) and through filing the Registered Charity Information Return (T3010), which can be found on the Government of Canada’s website. While both formats utilize the same information, the Foundation’s Audited Financial Statements provide a better detailed assessment of the organization’s performance.

Fundraising Efficiency Calgary Health Foundation raised $909,751 per each full time employee for net fundraising revenues of $24.7M showing that our small team is able to effectively work with donors in ensuring a big impact.

Our fundraising vs. lottery revenues Calgary Health Foundation raises money through two streams of business: our fundraising activities, which are benchmarked to industry best practices, that inspire the community to make philanthropic donations in support of our mission; and our charitable lottery revenues which are raised through our three lottery programs – Foothills Hospital Home Lottery, Hospital Home Lottery and WinWin staff lottery. Our lottery programs have a great return on investment. They are essential to our overall success and make up 57.9%, or a net of $14.3M, of our total fundraising revenue. We continuously evaluate the return on investment of all of our lottery programs. The expenses of these programs include the purchase of prizing and program marketing. We are proud to say that we run some of the most efficient lotteries in Canada.
