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

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
