About Calgary Alpha House Society

Overview

Calgary Alpha House Society provides safe and caring environments for individuals whose lives are affected by alcohol and other drug dependencies. Their continuum of programs helps connect these individuals with multiple levels of support such as outreach programs, a shelter program, a detox program, and a housing program with case management support. In addition, Calgary Alpha House Society purchased an apartment building for their Women's Project in June 2017, providing 24 new, permanent supportive housing units for women who have health and aging related issues due to addiction, mental illness, and a long history of homelessness.

Mission

To provide a safe and caring environment for individuals whose lives are affected by alcohol and other drug dependencies.

Vision

Alpha House's values include respecting clients' right to self-determination as they address the impact of alcoholism and addiction in their lives, developing relationships of trust with clients, working on client-identified objectives, and providing trauma-informed care.

Unique value proposition

Alpha House operates 24/7 services including the only mobile diversion response team (DOAP) in Calgary that provides street-level addiction and public intoxication response, preventing unnecessary use of emergency services and connecting vulnerable individuals to appropriate community resources.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does WellFunded work?

Donor-advised funds, wealth advisors and foundations use WellFunded to find, research and fund Canadian charities. Instead of rewriting the same proposal for every funder, you complete one profile and it's ready for all of them. Fill in a few short sections and upload your annual report, and we'll turn it into an impact page funders can find by cause, location and program.

Do I need to apply for funding?

No. Funders search WellFunded for charities that match what they want to support, and your profile is what they find. When a funder wants to know more, you'll hear from us. Some funders also post Giving Opportunities for a specific focus, and you can respond to those with the profile you've already built.

What does it cost?

WellFunded is free for charities. We don't charge transaction fees, and we never take a cut of any gift. Funders pay to use the platform.

Who sees my profile?

Donor-advised funds, advisors and foundations using WellFunded to research charities. Together they manage over $2.3B in charitable assets. WellFunded isn't open to the general public.

What is a WellCheck?

When a funder is seriously considering your charity, they may ask for a WellCheck. It's a short set of questions plus a few documents, reviewed alongside your audited financials and CRA filings. We present findings, not verdicts: no scores and no rankings. Do it once, and it's ready for every funder who asks after that.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your data stays in Canada, and we never sell it. See our privacy policy for details.

Is this legitimate?

WellFunded is a Canadian company, built in B.C. by the team behind one of Canada's first online donor-advised funds. If you'd like to meet us first, book a small group session with Jeff, our co-founder and CEO.
