🍁 Toronto · Launching Fall 2026

Help a Toronto kid
thrive
this fall.

Every dollar you give goes directly to a verified Toronto activity provider — not to a family, not to overhead. You see the child. You see the activity. You see where your money went. Fall enrollment is open — hockey, swim, music, dance, and more.

How it works

Simple, transparent,
and by design.

Four steps. No middleman. No wondering where your money went.

01
A Wish is created
A parent, teacher, or neighbour creates a Wish for a specific child and a specific activity. Only the child's first name and age are shown publicly.
02
You fund it
Browse active Wishes and donate any amount. Your money is held in escrow by Stripe — nothing moves until the full goal is reached.
03
Provider gets paid
When the goal is reached, payment goes directly to the verified activity provider. The family receives zero cash — paid to provider directly.
04
You hear back
You receive a personal update from the Wish creator after the activity. You see exactly what happened with your contribution.
Why WishFund exists

These messages
started everything.

These are real messages sent to activity providers in Toronto. They went unanswered — not because nobody cared, but because no system existed to help.

Good evening, my son who is 9 years old has been playing club soccer and is very interested to join the Real Madrid camp. I'm a single mom of 3 kids and unfortunately got laid off from work. I know how bad he wants to join the camp but unfortunately due to my current situation, I'm unable to enroll him. Could you please guide me if financial aid is offered?
— Single mom, Toronto area
We are a foster care and adoption family. We have a few kids who love soccer. Do you offer scholarships for foster care and adopted youth?
— Foster care family
"Working in sports, I saw these messages constantly — parents asking if there was any help with fees, camps, programs. Most went unanswered. Not because nobody cared. Because nobody had built a way to help."
— Rick, WishFund founder
Why donors trust WishFund

Built for people who want
to know it worked.

🔒
Escrow until the goal is reached
Your donation is held by Stripe. If a Wish doesn't reach its goal, you get a full refund. No partial progress disappearing into a general fund.
✅
Paid directly to verified providers
Every activity provider on WishFund is verified. Payment goes to their bank account — never to the family. Zero cash changes hands outside the platform.
👁️
You see the child, the activity, the outcome
No vague mission statements. You pick the specific Wish you want to fund. After the activity, the Wish creator sends you a personal update.
🔄
Full refund if goal isn't met
If a Wish doesn't fully fund by its deadline, every donor gets their money back automatically. Your generosity is never wasted.
WishFund is not a charity — and that's intentional.
Every dollar you give goes to one specific child, for one specific activity, paid directly to the verified provider. No administrative overhead. No general fund. No wondering where your money went.

You see the child. You see the activity. You see the provider. When the goal is reached, the provider gets paid. That's it.

Donations are not tax deductible. We believe the direct impact speaks for itself.
💡 Your donation covers one specific child's activity — not a fraction of something bigger
