View Beaumont Nisku Christmas Elves (BNCES)'s website for more information.
As a community-based charitable organization, the Beaumont Nisku Christmas Elves Society acts as a funding intermediary that collects donations from individuals, businesses, and government programs, then redistributes these resources to vulnerable families and seniors during the holiday season. This positions them as a discretionary funding provider that makes allocation decisions based on referrals from Family & Community Social Services (FCSS) in Beaumont.
The organization administers several charitable programs: non-perishable food hampers containing items like canned vegetables, pasta, soup, and dry goods; gift cards for perishable grocery items; toys and books for children under 12; pajamas, hats and mittens; and gift cards with hygiene products for teens aged 13-18. The 2025 campaign successfully delivered assistance to 111 local families through these programs.
Funding comes from multiple sources including individual monetary donations (via e-transfer, PayPal, or mail), corporate sponsors, community groups, and government matching programs. The Alberta government's matching program contributes 50% of donations up to $5,000. The organization publishes a list of sponsors and maintains transparency about fund usage.
