We have received numerous phone calls and emails from concerned Canadians asking what they can do about the humanitarian crisis precipitated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Ed Stelmach Community Foundation is currently financially supporting two types of initiatives, and for this we are accepting donations. We are purchasing and helping to cover the cost of shipping various humanitarian supplies and equipment to Ukraine in cooperation with local groups. Second, as refugees from the war enter Canada, either temporarily or permanently, we are providing financial support to various local groups to aid in resettlement. If you would like to donate to the foundation for these initiatives, we accept monetary donations by cheque or e-transfer.

We gratefully acknowledge the aid of Wilde & Company Chartered Professional Accountants in processing donations and creating tax receipts.  Wilde & Company's many hours of volunteer service in this regard helps keep our administraton costs extremely low, allowing 100% of donated funds to be distributed to charities. https://wildeandco.ca/
