Fundraising
The Navalis Foundation
The Navalis Foundation (formerly the Royal Canadian Benevolent Fund) was founded in 1942 with a mandate to provide distress relief for sailors and their families. Over time, the scope of this mandate has expanded to include all those who have served with and for Canada’s Maritime Forces. This support is available to our military and merchant navy veterans, currently serving members and their families. They are partnered with Veterans Affairs Canada, Support Our Troops, Soldier On, and the Legion in their efforts to promote the well –being of the naval community.
Support Our Troops
Established in 2007, Support Our Troops meets the unique needs and special challenges faced by members of the Canadian Armed Forces community as a result of military service. It operates within Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services.
This includes providing financial assistance to promote family resiliency and supporting Veterans and serving members who may have an illness or injury through a variety of grants and programs.
Soldier On
Soldier On is a program that aims to support the recovery of ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreational, and creative activities. Since its establishment in 2007, Soldier On has supported over 11,500 members within the CAF community by offering members a safe environment to challenge themselves and become inspired in ways that they may not have thought possible, contributing to and providing a gateway to enhance their well-being. This re-introduction to an active lifestyle provides opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence and meet peers with similar challenges.
