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.
