True Patriot Love Foundation is Canada’s national foundation for the military community. Since 2009, we have invested more than $62 million into supporting military members, Veterans, and their families, reaching more than 50,000 beneficiaries and over 1,100 community-based programs. By investing in high-impact programs, funding innovative research, honouring service, and advocating for systemic change, we ensure those who served have the mental, physical, and social support they need to live fulfilling lives. We turn national gratitude into life-changing impact.  

Thanks to our donors, True Patriot Love Foundation has made a tremendous impact on our military and Veteran communities in Western Canada. Since 2009, True Patriot Love has disbursed more than $8.2 million in Western Canada, which includes $1.2 million towards more than 80 programs in the region, and over $7 million to national programs that have also benefitted military and Veteran families in the West.

True Patriot Love Foundation has funded the following programs in Alberta:

·         4 Wing (Cold Lake) Military Family Resource Centre

·         Calgary Alpha House Society

·         Calgary Military Family Resource Centre

·         Calgary Veterans Food Bank

·         Legacy Place Society

·         Military Families Support Society

·         Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Foundation

·         Prospect Human Services

·         University of Alberta

We are uniquely positioned to understand the greatest needs of Canadian military families and activate the resources required to deliver the most significant impact.

Our national perspective allows us to work towards ensuring that military and Veteran families receive the same level of support no matter where they live, while also allowing us to tailor our funding to the unique needs of the local community.

Our agility and flexibility allow us to fund promising community programs that are still in the proof-of-concept stage and, once success is proven, raise additional funds to take them national.

Our robust funding application process, which includes a Disbursement Advisory Committee consisting of experts from a variety of sectors, ensures that funding goes towards the programs that offer the most immediate and most significant impact.

Our partnership with the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research allows us to leverage a comprehensive system of national research capabilities, which ensures we fund the best, most innovative and most impactful research initiatives.

We count on the support of individuals and corporate partners to continue our important work. There are many ways for you to get involved and help us on our mission to support service men and women, Veterans and their family in Calgary and across the rest of Canada:
