You will see it in the choices they make, the relationships they develop, and their desire to foster this mindset in others.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to realize their potential – from children attending inner-city schools to those who are homeless.

1. Organization
The United Way of the Alberta Capital Region’s mission is: “We bring people and resources together to build caring, vibrant communities”.
The United Way of the Alberta Capital Region (the “United Way”) is a registered charitable organization and a public charitable foundation and, as such, is exempt from tax under the Income Tax Act.
2. Significant accounting policies
These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Because the precise determination of many assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are dependent on future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily includes the use of estimates and approximations which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.
A) Revenue recognition These financial statements have been prepared using the deferral method, the key elements of which are:
i) Campaign revenues Campaign revenues include those contributions made specifically in support of the annual campaign from corporations, employee groups, employee funds, individuals and foundations.
Campaign contributions and pledges are recorded as deferred contributions and recognized as revenue in the year following the campaign when the related allocations are made to agencies.
ii) Grant revenues
Unrestricted grants are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Externally restricted grants are recorded as deferred contributions and recognized as revenue in the year the related expenses are incurred.
iii) Co-fundraising revenues
Co-fundraising revenues represent total revenues generated by events held in conjunction with other organizations to raise funds to support our mission.
Co-fundraising contributions and pledges received are recorded as deferred contributions and are recognized as revenue in the following year.
iv) Investment income
Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue in the Operating Fund in the year it is earned. Restricted investment income is deferred and recognized in accordance with the terms and conditions surrounding the original principal amount.
v) Endowment
Endowment contributions are recognized as a direct increase in net assets in the year in which they are received.
iv) Bequests
Unrestricted bequests are recognized as revenue in the Operating Fund when earned. Restricted bequests are recognized as revenue in the Operating Fund in the year which the related expenses are incurred.
2007 | United Way of the Alberta Capital Region Annual Report | 41 | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2007
B) Expense recognition i) Fundraising expenses
Fundraising expenses include all expenses directly associated with fundraising and co-fundraising and an allocation of general management and administration expenses.
ii) Program expenses
Program expenses include all allocations to agencies and allocations to programs directly delivered by the United Way and an allocation of general and administration expenses.
iii) Allocated expenses
Expenses identifiable to fundraising or specific programs are charged directly. Remaining indirect expenses are allocated between fundraising and programs based on the number of employees assigned to those activities.
C) Cash and short-term investments Cash and short-term investments consist of cash on deposit and short-term investments with maturity periods of less than ninety days and donated marketable securities that are required to be disposed of immediately after they are received.
D) Prepaid campaign expenses Campaign expenses are recorded as prepaid campaign expenses until the year following the campaign when allocations are made to agencies and campaign contributions and pledges are recognized as revenue.
E) Unexpended allocations Unexpended allocations represent amounts allocated to agencies during the year, which have not been disbursed as at December 31. Members agency allocations not taken by April 30 and special allocations not taken by December 31 of the following fiscal year are returned to operations as allocations not taken.
F) Investment in capital assets Investment in capital assets represents the net carrying cost of assets funded from unrestricted funds and contributed capital assets.
G) Internally restricted operating funds Internally restricted operating funds include amounts which the United Way has designated for specific purposes.
H) Capital assets Purchased capital assets are recorded in the Operating Fund at cost. Contributed capital assets are recorded in the Endowment and Bequest Fund at fair value at the date of contribution.
Amortization commences when an asset is put into use. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives as follows:
Building 15 to 25 years Office equipment 10 years Computer hardware 3 to 5 years Computer software 3 years NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2007
3. Changes in accounting policies
A) Financial Instruments – recognition and measurement On January 1, 2007, the United Way adopted Section 3855 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (“CICA”) Handbook – Financial In- struments – Recognition and Measurement. It contains the standards for recognizing and measuring financial instruments in the balance sheet and the standards for reporting gains and losses in the financial statements. Financial assets available for sale, assets and liabilities held for trading and derivative financial instruments, part of a hedging relationship or not, have to be measured at fair value.
The United Way has made the following classifications under the new standard:
• Cash and short-term investments are classified as financial assets held for trading and measured at fair value. Gains and losses related to periodical evaluations are recorded in the statement of operations.
• Campaign pledges receivable and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables and are initially measured at fair value and subsequent periodical revaluations are recorded at amortized cost using the effective rate method.
• Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other liabilities and are initially measured at fair value and subsequent periodical revaluations are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The adoption of this section was done retroactively without restatement of the financial statements of the prior periods. As at January 1, 2007, there was no impact on the balance sheet from these classifications.
The United Way does not have any derivative instruments including embedded derivatives. An embedded derivative is a component of a financial instrument or another contract of which the characteristics are similar to a derivative.
B) Hedges Handbook Section 3865, Hedges allows optional treatment providing that hedges be designated as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of a self-sustaining operation. Since the United Way has not entered into any hedge transactions, this section did not have any impact on the United Way’s financial statements.
C) Accounting changes Effective January 1, 2007, the United Way adopted the new Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) revised Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes. This new standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when they result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information, requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements.
The adoption of these new standards did not have any significant effect on the United Way’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.
D) Recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective Effective January 1, 2008, the United Way will be required to adopt the following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”):
CICA 3862 – Financial Instruments – Disclosures CICA 3863 – Financial Instruments – Presentation CICA 1535 – Capital Disclosures
The United Way has not yet assessed the impact of adopting these new standards on the financial position or reported results.

15. Edmonton Community Foundation deposit The Edmonton Community Foundation (the “Foundation”) deposit is invested by the Foundation as part of its consolidated trust fund. The consolidated trust fund consists of bonds, equities and other income earning instruments. The United Way recorded its share of realized and unrealized investment income and losses from the trust fund in these financial statements. During the year, the United Way contributed the funds on deposit to the Foundation’s Social Enterprise Fund.
16. Financial instruments
Fair value The fair values of financial instruments including cash and short-term investments, campaign pledges receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and unexpected allocations as reported on the balance sheet, approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.
Credit risk The United Way is subject to credit risk with respect to campaign pledges receivable. However, the United Way is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk due to its large donations base. Management monitors these accounts regularly and does not believe that the United Way is exposed to significant credit risk at the balance sheet date.
