Licensed under the Alberta charitable gaming model, charitable and religious organizations manage casinos, bingos, raffles, and pull tickets to generate revenue for their budget. Most ARCs within Mohkinstsís (Calgary) run at least one casino every 12 to 18 months, and a few also manage  bingo events every two months. The province of Alberta started licensing eligible charitable groups in the 1970s, first distributing them through local police stations, then shifting to provincial distribution by the late 1970s. Most ARCs in Alberta have participated in the model since their formation, with the oldest ARCs beginning their participation in the early 1980s.\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-1-1460'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-1-1460' content='The New Gallery Fonds, 1975-2008, GLEN glen-3645, Glenbow Museum & Archives, Glenbow Museum & Archives, Calgary, Alberta.' v-tippy='{ allowHTML: true }'>1\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fspan> The model has gone through various overhauls, its most recent version established in 2003 under the Progressive Conservative government.\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-2-1460'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-2-1460' content='“Charitable Gaming Review,” Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis, accessed February 13, 2023. p. 12-13. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Faglc.ca\u002Fsites\u002Faglc.ca\u002Ffiles\u002F2021-05\u002FCharitable_Gaming_Review-Working_group_package_2021_05.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\u002F\u002Faglc.ca\u002Fsites\u002Faglc.ca\u002Ffiles\u002F2021-05\u002FCharitable_Gaming_Review-Working_group_package_2021_05.pdf\u003C\u002Fa>' v-tippy='{ allowHTML: true }'>2\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">71 percent of the 321 million dollars earned by charitable and religious organizations in the 2019–2020 fiscal year from the charitable gaming model was from casino events.

By having charities provide unpaid labour, the perceived negative moral effects of gambling are offset by the “good” work these charities do — going even so far as having a section of the AGLC website dedicated to listing all the charities that benefit from the model. However, this charitable goodwill isn’t freely extended to these organizations: charities have to gather a large volunteer base to be eligible to benefit from these events, and must prove their charitable purpose (which is categorized into relief of poverty, advancement of education, advancement of religion or other purposes beneficial to the community) following AGLC guidelines, including having bylaws that follow AGLC policy.

When this passion is pressured to work an eight-and-a-half-hour shift at the casino, all the while holding an understanding of and empathy for the impact of addictive and problem gambling, the resulting experience is both jarring and exhausting.

ARC job descriptions often detail that they are expected to be available for gaming shifts, and must volunteer their time during those shifts. As staff members work to organize ahead of hosting a gaming event (which often supports or secures funding for their own jobs), the anxiety associated with finding and managing communication with those volunteers — while also ensuring that their volunteer board isn’t overworked — adds extra stress on top of already overworked staff members, then amplified by the long, smokey hours at the casino or bingo hall. There are very rarely repeat volunteers. The stress is tangible among staff members of peer ARCs who reach out to one another to fill the volunteer slots ahead of their casino dates. Sometimes, volunteers end up being sourced from among staff and board’s family members. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s not just the staff that is overworked — as in non-profits across the country, board members aren’t paid for their time spent working for the organization and are often required to dedicate between 5–10 hours a month of volunteer time. As Spade outlines in \u003Cem>Mutual Aid\u003C\u002Fem>, most non-profits groups have paid staff, which can cause “unpaid volunteers in the group [to] sometimes expect that staff person or few staff people to suddenly do all the work, and the volunteers check out (especially if they felt over-worked before the group started paying staff).”\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-13-1460'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-13-1460' content='Dean Spade, \u003Cem>Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)\u003C\u002Fem>, (Verso Press, 2020), p. 106.' v-tippy='{ allowHTML: true }'>13\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fspan> This dynamic recreates itself in ARCs not only between staff and community volunteers, but also between ARC staff and the unpaid board members who are expected to volunteer their time to the organizations they sit on. While internally ARCs can work toward preventing burnout from boards, this also requires tremendous and compassionate labour from both board and staff as they attempt to restructure the nonprofit models of working that replicate for-profit, hierarchical corporate structures that encourage individualism and the exploitation of workers (and in this case also board members) for maximum profits (or programming). The board-burnout-to-board-apathy-to-staff-burnout-to-staff-apathy cycle is heavily felt in nonprofits and is only amplified within gaming fundraising. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>Is there a future for non-profit funding beyond scarcity?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through conversations with peer ARCs, artists, and other community members, I find myself coming back to the ever-exhausting problems most nonprofits face: precarious and limited funding, persistent burnout, and obtuse corporate structures that reinforce and recreate existing inequities.

It is difficult to disentangle organizations from the scarcity mindset that is systematically encouraged in them, especially when jobs, opportunities for artists, and community programming are at risk. But as ARC staff, board directors and community members engage further in frank, honest conversation about the Alberta charitable gaming model and our collective hope for alternatives and divestment from the model, I am starting to see a gentle shift away from gambling as a form of funding. Sustainable fundraisers with more care and consideration have emerged, as our exhausted, yet curious communities to come back together in person after three years spent mostly apart.\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-15-1460'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-15-1460' content='TRUCK Contemporary Art relaunched their art auction fundraiser, with postcard-sized art pieces, just this February.
