**CFRN TV Good Neighbour Fund Society**  
The **CFRN TV Good Neighbour Fund Society** (registered as a Canadian nonprofit with Business Registration Number **887575868RR0001**) is a charitable organization providing limited financial assistance to individuals and families facing exceptional hardships in the greater Edmonton area and North Central Alberta. Established in 1993 by Bruce Hogle Sr., the society operates under the principle of offering a "helping hand up" to those in temporary crisis not covered by conventional social support systems.

**Mission and operations**  
The organization focuses on addressing urgent, non-recurring needs such as emergency medical expenses, housing stability, and essential living costs. It prioritizes cases where applicants have exhausted all other avenues for support, emphasizing dignity and self-sufficiency. The fund operates through private donations and does not receive government funding, relying on community contributions to deliver targeted aid.

**Scope and impact**  
While specific financial data is not publicly disclosed, the society has maintained continuous operations since its inception, emphasizing low administrative costs to maximize direct assistance. Its work reflects a localized approach to poverty alleviation, often collaborating with social service agencies to identify beneficiaries. The fund's namesake references its historical association with CFRN-TV (now CTV Edmonton), though current operational details suggest an independent structure.
