The Kinsmen Foundation has recently become aware of a cyber incident involving unauthorized access to certain applications on our systems. The incident has been contained and our regular operations and services were not affected. We immediately notified law enforcement and have engaged third-party experts to support us in a detailed investigation of the incident, which is currently ongoing.
Based on the information we presently have, the unauthorized access may have affected contact information and email addresses. We are currently in the process of contacting those donors where this information may have been impacted. Any notifications to those who may have been impacted about this incident will be sent from Cyberscout (A TransUnion Company) on behalf of the Kinsmen Foundation.
We ask that you remain vigilant of suspicious emails claiming to be from Kinsmen / TeleMiracle asking for user credentials or to click on links. We will provide further updates as soon as they become available. If during the investigation we find any private data was impacted, we will be notifying those individuals directly in a separate communication, as appropriate.
We are deeply thankful and committed to our donors and the wider Saskatchewan community as we resolve this unfortunate event.

Our Motto
Helping People Every Day
The Kinsmen Foundation was established in 1971 and granted funds raised by local Kinsmen and Kinettes. When requests for assistance exceeded available funds, planning started in 1976 for a province-wide telethon as a major fundraiser and the first TeleMiracle was started in Saskatoon in February 1977.
Today, the Kinsmen Foundation provides Saskatchewan residents with special needs equipment, to improve quality of life and independence; as well as access to life-saving medical treatment.
“
Throughout the year, Saskatchewan people of all ages with mobility and/or cognitive challenges apply to the Kinsmen Foundation for financial assistance. The resulting miracles are varied, but the goal is always the same – to have a direct, positive effect on each recipient’s quality of life.
