Our goal is to improve well-being, inspire recovery, strengthen families and foster community connection. The Foundation also acts as a catalyst for collaboration across stakeholders in the sector and provides thought leadership on all areas within its mission focus.In 2008, when Canadian soldiers were returning home from Afghanistan, and the impact of war was weighing heavily on them and their families, Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff challenged a group of Toronto-based philanthropists to raise money to support them. The following year, the inaugural Tribute Gala brought 2,000 Canadians together, raising $2 million in one evening. The event proved that Canadians are proud of our military, and are seeking ways, beyond wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day, to express their support. The True Patriot Love organization was born.&nbsp;Since 2009, True Patriot Love has distributed over $50 million to fund 1,100 programs that support mental health, physical rehabilitation, transition to life after service and the unique needs of children and families. The Foundation also actively helps to ensure the needs of those who serve remain in the minds of the public through high profile expeditions and events. As a result of the Foundation’s inspiring work, more than 44,000 military and Veteran families have been helped.&nbsp;Areas of Focus and ImpactThey’ve had our backs; now it is time we had theirs. Whether our military and Veterans are facing healthcare challenges, their&nbsp;families need support, or they are seeking to transition to civilian life, it is our responsibility to make sure their needs are met. By accepting that responsibility and giving generously, Canadians can find their own ways to serve. We are a stronger, more inclusive country when Canadians give back to those who have given everything.&nbsp;True Patriot Love supports:<ul><li>Mental Health &amp; Well-Being:&nbsp;Prioritizing&nbsp;well-being, by investing in mental health and transition programs amongst others.&nbsp;</li><li>Physical Health &amp; Rehabilitation: Improving the&nbsp;rehabilitation and recovery&nbsp;journey through the power of sport, expeditions, and alternative therapies.</li><li>Family Health &amp; Support: Supporting&nbsp;stronger military families, as spouses, caregivers, children, and youth are called upon to make profound sacrifices along with their loved ones.&nbsp;</li><li>Communities: Providing resources to organizations that foster&nbsp;connection with communities, whether it be through mentorship, volunteerism, or advocacy.</li></ul>Grants &amp; ProgramsWe are a catalyst for collaboration and impact. True Patriot Love provides the opportunity for Canadian registered charities to apply for funding of programs that are aligned with the foundation’s mandate. Current grants and programs include:<ul><li>True Patriot Love Local Community Fund</li><li>The Captain Nichola Goddard Fund</li><li>True Patriot Love Military Creative Arts Fund</li><li>Invictus Legacy Fund</li></ul>Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025True Patriot Love is proud to have secured the Invictus Games for Toronto in 2017 and then the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, the first time any organization or country has been awarded the Games twice. True Patriot Love established the local organizing committee for Vancouver Whistler and led on delivering Legacy elements impacting the military and Veteran community up to and beyond February 2025. True Patriot Love is the largest funder of Team Canada, for both Invictus Games and the Warrior Games, as well as other community programs across Canada.The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 were held from February 8-16, 2025, and brought together 534 competitors from 23 nations to compete in adaptive sports, including the new winter sports: Alpine Skiing, Nordic Skiing, Snowboarding, Biathlon, Skeleton, and Wheelchair Curling, in addition to the core Invictus Games sports of indoor rowing, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball.&nbsp;The Games were held on the traditional territories of the Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. During the planning and implementation of the Games, True Patriot Love worked in the full spirit of implementing Canada’s Truth &amp; Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, and that Indigenous protocols were respected in all aspects of the Games.&nbsp;ExpeditionsSince 2012, True Patriot Love has produced a series of ambitious expeditions around the world engaging Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, and civilians, which raise funds and build awareness and long-term relationships.Past expeditions have collectively raised over $10 million for the military community and have directly impacted 66 ill and injured military personnel and Veterans. Funds raised have allowed for enhanced job training and recruitment, provided 144 Veterans with rapid job placement, helped to fund more than 9,800 hours of peer-to-peer mental health counselling, and allowed for a $500,000 investment to create a virtual reality therapy program for Veterans living with PTSD which has been implemented across the country.&nbsp;The Captain Nichola Goddard Women in LeadershipThe Captain Nichola Goddard Women in Leadership roundtable concluded its 2025&nbsp;four-city series, bringing over 450 people together for evenings of insight, inspiration and frank conversation about military leadership from a female perspective.&nbsp;Now in its seventh year, the Women in Leadership event is named in honour of Captain Nichola Goddard, the first Canadian female soldier to die in combat while on duty in Afghanistan in 2006. The series is held in support of&nbsp;<a href="https://truepatriotlove.com/granting-and-programs/captain-nichola-goddard-fund/" target="_blank">the Fund</a> which also bears her name.&nbsp; &nbsp;True Patriot Love Annual Tribute Dinner 2025: Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa&nbsp;From&nbsp;the moment a person enlists in the Canadian Armed Forces to the time they are released, their military service impacts every aspect of their life, including the lives of those closest to them—their family. Each year during Remembrance Week, the Foundation hosts its Annual&nbsp;Tribute Dinner, a signature fundraising event and Canada’s largest celebration in support of military members, Veterans, and their families. The event brings together influential business and community leaders, distinguished military representatives and dignitaries to pay tribute to the military and Veteran community.This year’s event, which was attended by the Duke of Sussex, raised more than $2 million to support our work.ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND &amp;
