Financial assistance
The Royal Canadian Legion provides financial assistance to serving and former Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP, and their families who are in financial distress. Grants are available for food, heating, clothing, prescription medication, medical appliances and equipment, essential home repairs and emergency shelter or assistance. Smaller comforts can also be provided to Veterans and surviving spouses who are hospitalized.
Assistance to a Veteran cannot be provided over an extended period but can be offered more than once.
Eligibility for assistance
Any Veteran or Veteran’s dependent in need of assistance is eligible to apply for financial aid from the Poppy Trust Fund, including:
- Any person who is serving or who has honourably served in the Canadian Armed Forces or the RCMP, as well as their dependents
- Merchant Navy personnel who have been awarded campaign stars or decorations, as well as their dependents
- Ex-service personnel of Commonwealth countries and their dependents who reside in Canada
- Ex-service personnel of allied countries and their dependents who reside in Canada
Application requirements
The application process includes:
- The completion of the Benevolent Fund Application
- Undergoing a financial means review
- Provide income as well as justification for claimed monthly expenses that are unusual or higher than average, if requested
- Additional information may be required, such as: specialized medical reports; supplier estimates, other possible sources of funding, etc.
Download the Benevolent Fund Application and submit to your local Legion Branch.
Benevolent Fund Application: http://www.legion.ca/docs/default-source/forms/benevolentassistanceform_e.pdf?sfvrsn=0
local Legion Branch: http://www.legion.ca/contact-us/find-a-branch
Financial assistance available
The local Branch, the Provincial Commands and Dominion Command all consider applications for a Poppy Trust Fund Grant. The amount of financial assistance the local Branches can provide depends on the results of its Poppy campaign. There is a financial assistance limit of $500 for the Provincial Command and a $1,000 limit for the Dominion Command.
In normal circumstances, Veterans submit their applications for financial assistance to their local Branch. However, if the Veteran’s needs are significant, several funding partners could be required; or when the local Branch level has expended all of its Poppy Trust Funds, the application should be submitted to the Provincial Command and, if necessary, to Dominion Command with appropriate recommendations on required disbursements from various funds.
To speak with us about financial assistance, please contact your local Legion Branch Service Officer, or speak to a Command Service Officer.

Command Service Officer: http://www.legion.ca/support-for-veterans/contact-a-service-officer
Residency eligibility
There are no residency requirements for ex-members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Ex-service personnel of Allied or Commonwealth Forces must, however, reside in Canada to be eligible for assistance.
Approval process
Every application for a Poppy Trust Fund Grant is considered on the merits of the Veterans’ circumstances and demonstrated need. The problem giving rise to the Veterans’ need must be beyond the ability of the Veterans’ own resources, and it must be of a sufficiently serious nature to constitute a definite threat to the economic stability of the family.
A grant can only be given if the assistance, on its own or in conjunction with grants from other sources, will provide a complete and immediate solution to the situation, or contribute to a plan offering reasonable assurance of a long-term solution. The recommended solution must be the most basic and cost-effective remedy available.
Payment of grants
As a rule, trust fund grant payments are made by cheque, jointly payable to the Veteran and supplier.
Posthumous grants
If a Veteran dies after applying for financial assistance, but before a ruling is made and/or a grant is paid out, a grant cannot be awarded. However, if a surviving family member is still in need of financial assistance, they are encouraged to apply for a trust fund grant.
