About Miskanawah Community Services Association

Overview

Miskanawah Community Services Association is a non-profit organization in Calgary that is guided by Indigenous teachings and provides evidence-informed supportive services to strengthen individuals, families, communities, and cultures. Their programs include Mahmawi-atoskiwin, which focuses on keeping Indigenous children with their families whenever possible, Healthy Families and Indigenous Healthy Families/Nehiyaw Kihokewin for home visitation services, Indigenous Mentor Homes for Indigenous youth in care, and Oskipmatsahk for mentoring after care. They also offer Regional After-Hours Youth Support, Nitsanak Mamawintowak for home visitation for Indigenous families, and Miskanawah for healing from inter-generational trauma through traditional, cultural, and therapeutic supports. Additionally, they have Diamond Willow Youth Lodge for Indigenous youth to gather for healing and connection, Oskayapewis for youth leadership development, and various Indigenous cultural activities.

Culture: Miskanawah is firmly grounded in Indigenous culture and strives to strengthen cultural identity for Indigenous people in the greater Calgary community. Community: Miskanawah centers its practice in the establishment of community as a means of creating natural supports.

Trust: Miskanawah understands the responsibility of working with vulnerable populations.

Unique Value Proposition

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
