Kin Canada's Impact

Kinsmen and Kinettes respond to diversity and challenges with zest and enthusiasm. The Kin attitude is one that exemplifies a hands-on approach to service work. Not content to simply write cheques, if there’s work to be done -- Kin clubs do it!

More than $1 billion raised
Kin members have proudly contributed more than $1 billion to Canadian communities since our Association was founded in 1920.

Giving back millions
Every year clubs contribute about $15 million to improve Canadian communities by building parks, sponsoring sports teams, awarding student bursaries and helping individuals and  families in need. In 2009-2010, our members raised more than $15 million and they spent countless hours organizing and executing hundreds of fundraisers and service projects in their communities.

Kin Canada Bursaries
Kin Canada Bursaries is the second largest non-corporate provider of bursaries in Canada. Over $730,000 in bursaries has been awarded since 1994 to assist deserving students in their pursuit of a post-secondary education.

Cystic Fibrosis: National Charity
Since 1964, Kinsmen and Kinettes have proudly supported the work of Cystic Fibrosis Canada since 1964. On average, we’ve raised$1 million annually for CF.  Our total contributions are nearing $40 million, making Kin Canada the largest single fundraising organization of CF research and care in Canada.

Portraits of Honour Tour National Project
Cambridge (Preston) Kinsman and artist Dave Sopha painted a profound 10’ x 50’ mural depicting the 157 Canadian military personnel who lost their lives serving in Afghanistan. The coast-to-coast tour hopes to raise $1.5 million for the Military Families Fund and the Canadian forces personnel returning home with physical or emotional injuries.
