Join WUNDERfund in an inspiring fitness challenge to raise funds for the City Children's Clinical Hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine.
Your donation at https://www.wunderfund.ca can help build stronger futures and provide vital support for these children.
About the Hospital:
This vital Hospital has experienced a surge in demand, with patient numbers increasing by nearly 30% since February 2022, but its operating resources have only seen limited growth. The Hospital provides care to ~17,000 children, operating in crowded conditions, and is largely functioning with equipment donated by Western hospitals—equipment that has often outlived its usefulness by Western standards. . Despite these challenges, their amazing and dedicated staff give their all to the children treated there every day.
The situation is compounded by a rise in premature births, associated birth defects, and cases of child abandonment as families struggle under the pressures of war.This makes your support more critical than ever.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.
What is the campaign registration fee?

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
