Two donations from Kindrachuks continue their support of CIUS

EDMONTON - The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) recently received two donations totaling $65,500 from Pauline Kindrachuk and the estate of her late husband, Peter, bringing the family's total gift to CIUS to $100,000 since June 1990.

Pauline Kindrachuk and the late Peter Kindrachuk have a long record of Ukrainian community work in Canada. They have also donated generously to many religious, educational, community and other causes associated with Ukraine and Ukrainians in Canada.

Together with the late John Kolasky and William and Justine Fedeyko, Peter and Pauline Kindrachuk co-founded the Ukraine Exchange Fellowship Endowment Fund at CIUS in 1990, which was renamed the John Kolasky Memorial Endowment Fund in early 1998. The most recent donations from Mrs. Kindrachuk and her late husband are earmarked for this fund, income from which finances fellowships for scholars and professionals from Ukraine to study and conduct research in Canada.

Among the many other organizations and institutions the Kindrachuks have supported financially are the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies, the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko, the Ukrainian Free University in Munich, St. Andrew's College, the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Center in Toronto and the Ukrainian World Congress. They also contributed toward the purchase of the building that houses Ukraine's Embassy in Canada.
