By setting up strong fundraising pathways, the organization can expand its joyful impact in hospitals, shelter homes, and vulnerable spaces across the country.

About the Organisation

Clownselors Foundation is a volunteer-led nonprofit bringing “care” back to healthcare through medical clowning – a form of distraction therapy that’s proven to support emotional and physical healing. Their vision: “Doses of Laughter should be given the same importance as Doses of Medicine.”

Clownselors works across hospitals, old age homes, shelter homes, orphanages, slums, and refugee camps. Their volunteer clowns use humor, music, magic, and play to help people forget pain and fear, even if only for a little while.
