The Society for Autism Support and Services (Calgary Region) is a $13.2-million autism services organization with 49 years of CRA registration and an exceptional 99.6% program-spending ratio — essentially every dollar reaches the autism services mission. With 7.8 months of reserves (6.5 times the peer median) and a dedicated 9-member board, this is one of Calgary's strongest autism-support organizations.
Our Verdict: An exceptionally efficient autism services provider that directs 99.6% of spending to programs. The 81.5% compensation ratio is high but autism services are inherently staffing-intensive — therapists, behavioral specialists, and support workers deliver the program directly. Strong reserves and 49 years of continuous service confirm institutional stability.
