Financial highlights
Donations revenue
Calgary Health Foundation is committed to transparency in our reporting.
Our Finance & Audit Committee of the Board ensures we continue to operate both efficiently and effectively, while pursuing opportunities to grow our organization’s impact for our donors, our community, and healthcare. We report financial information in two ways: Audited Financial Statements available on our website 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 more detailed assessment of the organization’s performance.
