The Alzheimer Society of Calgary is a well-established dementia-services organization with 44 years of operation and strong governance, but its revenue history tells a volatile story — including a 62% single-year drop — that donors should understand before giving. Overall trust metrics are strong, earning an A grade, with solid program spending and a comfortable financial cushion built from a spike year in 2022.
Our Verdict: This is a credible, long-running organization delivering hands-on dementia care in Calgary, with above-average program spending and a healthy reserve cushion. Revenue volatility is the main concern — a $7.1M spike in 2022 followed by a sharp drop suggests lumpy funding sources — but the organization has navigated it without operational disruption, and donors can give with reasonable confidence.
