KCCFA raised $3,786,776 in 2008/09, down 10% from the previous year.

The drop in revenue was primarily due to the fulfillment of multi-year pledges for the research capital campaign, We Believe, which impacted revenue by $397,521. The decrease was also due to $298,954 fewer funds raised through corporate and individual donations and $102,360 less brought in through community initiatives. Partly offsetting this decline were donations from other not-for-profits, which increased by $126,761 because more donors designated gifts to KCCFA through community foundations. KCCFA special events continued to grow, bringing in $1,902,191, up $317,807 over the previous year.

Financial Statements KCCFA invested $3,232,234 in programs and operations in 2008/09, down 8% from the previous year.

This decline reflects a reduced investment in research compared to the previous year. In 2008/09, the research program was restructured and, as a result, we anticipate increased grants in future years. KCCFA disbursed its first scholarships in 2008/09, awarding $24,000 to 24 cancer survivors. KCCFA’s investment in Clinical Support increased by $112,421 to support the international residency program at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Based on a five-year rolling average, fundraising and administrative costs continue to be within industry standards of 25% to 35% of revenue.
