We're here to Help

You are the boots on the ground making a difference in your communities, and we are here to help you be the best you can be. 

Whether you are looking for guidance, resources, tips, templates, training, education, ways to connect with your peers or something else entirely, our team are experts in all things nonprofit.

Audit Services

Our one-of-a-kind financial audit program exclusively focuses on providing small non-profits with professional audit services.

We offer professional, low cost public practice audits as well as assistance with tax, AGLC reports, financial compliance, and financial literacy to nonprofits and charities.

Please Note:
We would love to provide audit services to all of our members. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of this service, we are unable to guarantee audit services to all of our members. If you are interested in this service, please inquire about the availability of an auditor for your year end.

Training & Workshops

Each year, our team provides up to 50 workshops designed to meet your needs. Whether you’re new to your board role or more experienced and looking to expand your knowledge, our workshops provide the foundation to help your nonprofit thrive. 

Let us help you build your understanding of:

Nonprofit Leadership & Governance
Financial Literacy
Policy & Strategic Planning
Community Engagement
Financial Audits
Urban Planning

And more!

Resource Library

We’ve compiled helpful and essential information on common subjects related to community-based organizations.

Our member-only online resource library has hundreds of carefully selected templates, guides and tip sheets on a variety of topics and areas of interest.

One-on-one Support

We are experts in all things nonprofit, and we’re here to support YOU. 

If you are experiencing a particular challenge, looking for a specific resource or just want to know when our next Board Basics workshop is, we can help.

Urban Planning

As Calgary grows and we seek more sustainable ways of living, the voices of community associations and citizens help inform community change in a way that is respectful of community character, mindful of the future, and balances the interests of your neighbourhood with the interests of the city as a whole. 

By offering Urban Planning workshops, resources and one-on-one support, we can give you the tools you need to deal with planning issues in an effective and rewarding manner.
