Individual assistance remains Navalis’ legacy program. With multiple partners in this area of support, Navalis has changed how it provides aid, focusing on partnering with other military-serving agencies to direct financial assistance in the most meaningful and impactful ways. Referring organizations receive requests, vet individual cases, identify specific needs, and call upon Navalis to supplement the funds they provide (filling a gap). Assistance is generally offered once per client who must be a naval veteran, a serving member of the RCN, or a direct family member of the latter.

Cases are referred by case managers from organizations and agencies (registered charitable organizations, or non-profit organizations) with purposes that align with Navalis’ objectives).

Case managers may submit requests for funds for support that has a direct impact on the naval community, specifically for naval veterans, serving members, and direct family members of serving members.

Referring partners are generally national or provincial in scope. Smaller regional organizations may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
