Soldier On Grant Program
Participation in sport or physical activity is an integral part of your recovery, but the financial cost may be too high.
We can provide you with short-term financial support so that the cost does not stand in the way of your active lifestyle. We’ve already given more than $8 million directly to support your peers.
We can help you:
• Acquire sporting or recreational equipment; and/or
• Participate in structured group activities.
As an official grant program of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Fund is entirely financially supported through donations received from Canadians, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, small businesses, corporations, and foundations.
Thank you for your overwhelming interest in the Soldier On Grant Program. We truly appreciate the positive response we have received. As indicated in the applicant guide to the Soldier On Grant, due to the exceptionally high demand, we have already reached our target maximum for this quarter, and we are currently unable to accept additional applications. Applications will be accepted in our next application window. We understand the importance of our program and its impact, and we assure you that as soon as we are in a position to do so, we will reopen the program and start accepting applications again.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
