Navalis’ mission remains rooted in support for Canada’s naval community. The CSP offers an alternative to individual assistance and explores grants as a means to partner with and assist organizations that serve clients with a direct connection to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), enabling Navalis to help greater numbers of naval veterans, serving members, and their families.

Who can apply

Applicants may apply for a grant up to $25,000 for projects that address the well-being of the naval community.

To qualify for a grant an organization must:

• Be a qualified donee (registered charitable organizations, or non-profit organizations with purposes that align with Navalis’ charitable objectives)
• Only request funds for services that have a direct impact on the naval community, namely, naval veterans, serving members, and families of serving members
• Be national or provincial in scope. Smaller regional organizations may be considered on a case-by-case basis

**Individuals may not apply for the CSP

• Support for former or current members of the RCN or their family members experiencing financial difficulties related to basic needs (e.g., shelter, food, clothing, utilities, transportation, medical expenses, moving costs).
• Support for families of RCN members, particularly if the serving member is deployed (e.g., community welcome programs, children’s programs, food hampers, sports or summer camp fees).
• Programs, workshops, and training that promote well-being and community-building within the naval family.
