• Anyone who is a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident of Canada AND has a valid Saskatchewan Health Card is welcome to apply.
  • The Kinsmen Foundation will also accept applications from individuals who live in border communities (e.g. Lloydminster, Flin Flon) and do not hold a Saskatchewan Health Card.
  • Please refer to the Application Checklist for details.
• The Kinsmen Foundation is a funder of last resort. If you are able to self-fund, crowd-source or have access to other funding programs, please utilize those first.

• Equipment
  • special needs equipment and/or mobility equipment
• Medical Travel
  • travel, meals, and accommodations for treatments outside of one’s home community, province, or country.
    • The medical treatment must be covered by Saskatchewan Health.

• Applications are accepted at any time. 

• If urgent or unexpected travel is required and meets the criteria, an emergency process is available. Typically this process takes 2-3 business days from the time a complete application is received.

The most common reasons for applications not being approved are:

• The request is not within the Board’s mandate.
  • for example: living expenses, medications, consumables, past expenses, etc.
• The Kinsmen Foundation is not the funder of last resort.

If the equipment is clean and in good working condition, you are encouraged to donate it to someone else in need. Some places to consider are care homes, hospitals, and community occupational therapy departments.
