This gives your donors the option to pay with a credit card, they get their receipt immediately , and the money goes straight to TeleMiracle. Using a fundraising page is great for friends and family who live in other towns or cities to be able to support your event.

Whether you break open your piggy bank, put on a large fundraising event, or anything in between; if you wish to present your donation, during TeleMiracle, please visit our On-Air Presentation page for all the details and fill out an On-Air Presentation application form. If you are Sask Talent please do not fill out this form. 

You can continue fundraising as long or as little as you want. We accept donations all year long (our fiscal year is July 1 to June 30); however, if you want your donation amount to be included in the final total during TeleMiracle, you must submit all donations, with supporting documents, to the Kinsmen Foundation office at least one week prior to the telethon. Or bring it with you to the telethon.

This gives the staff time to verify the donation amount and pass along the information to those who post the totals during the telethon.

You can mail your cheques, made payable to TeleMiracle, (please DO NOT mail cash) and Tracking sheet for tax receipts to:

Kinsmen TeleMiracle
2217C Hanselman Crt
Saskatoon SK  S7L 6A8
Attention: Finance Department

Methods of payments accepted for online donations, 50/50 tickets, online souvenirs, etc. will depend on the 3rd party that manages that item.

For donations made directly to the office, we accept major credit cards and cheques. We can also accept cash, if delivered in person. Please do NOT mail cash.

The office does not accept debit or etransfers at this time.

Count it all up and make sure it balances with any tracking sheets you have. (we need these sheets to issue Tax Receipts). 

Send all donations (no cash by mail please), supporting documents, tracking sheets, etc. to Gina Funk at the Kinsmen Foundation office.

Kinsmen TeleMiracle

Saskatoon SK  S7L 6A8
Attention: Finance Department

If any of your donors requested a tax receipt, make sure their first and last name, along with their mailing address and amount of donation is included in the documents you send back. The tax receipts will be sent directly to the donors, after the telethon.

Donations should be forwarded to the Kinsmen Foundation office within 30 days of the fundraising event. 

All donations of $10 or more receive a tax receipt.

Online donations will receive a tax receipt emailed to them directly. 

All other tax receipts will be mailed out from the Kinsmen Foundation Office starting in May.

Each individual who donates $100 plus the TeleMiracle year (Ex.$148 for TeleMiracle 48 bear) of their own money AND checks the box to request a bear, will have one mailed out to them by the end of June following the telethon. If you donate twice the minimum amount, you can request 2 bears. Higher donations can request more bears; however, quantities of bears are limited.

NOTE: Money you acquired through fundraising does not qualify for you to get a bear. However, if one of the donors who participated in your fundraiser for TeleMiracle gives the right amount, he/she/they are eligible to receive a bear, if they request it.

We have posters, balloons, stickers, coin boxes, and fundraising kits (items in the kit vary based on what is available).  We also have fundraising tracking sheets available to record the funds raised, etc.

To have some sent to you, simply contact our Diane Brakefield, our TeleMiracle Administrator via the Contact Us page.
