Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Kimmunity Angels Society

Kimmunity Angels Society acts as a discretionary grant provider for medically vulnerable populations in British Columbia. Unlike government programs with fixed criteria, this organization evaluates each application based on individual need and available funds, providing personalized financial support to seriously-ill individuals facing economic barriers to healthcare access.

Applications are reviewed based on financial need and the organization's available resources. Required documentation includes: CRA Notice of Assessment for applicant and spouse/partner, medical verification from attending physician, and bank information to verify need. The organization also requires applicants to explore other available resources (Veterans Affairs, First Nations Health Authority, provincial income assistance) before providing support.

The organization operates under British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act. All applicant information is kept confidential and used solely for eligibility determination. A Board of Directors provides oversight, and the organization accepts various forms of charitable donations including e-transfers, life insurance gifts, and bequests.

Founded in 2013 by Donna Slavik (Executive Director and Founder) after witnessing the financial hardship faced by a friend diagnosed with terminal cancer. The experience highlighted the economic impact and emotional stress serious illness places on patients and families, inspiring the creation of this community support organization.
