Did you know?

Each year, NDWCC brings together over 1,000 volunteers both military members and civilian employees from within the Department of National Defence (DND) to make a meaningful and lasting contribution in our communities.

Our Goal in 2025

The Champion team has set an ambitious goal for the 2025 NDWCC: to raise over $2 million and achieve 100% canvassing by December 1st, 2025. The DND team has banded together in the past to help build and strengthen our communities across Canada. While Canada is working towards the Our North Strong and Free we can’t forget about the diverse communities that make us unique and need our support to be stronger and more resilient.

Your participation in the campaign whether by making a financial donation, or by volunteering your time, your contribution makes a big difference.

By contributing to the NDWCC campaign, you are helping the Defence Team raise funds for over 87,000 charities. Charities assisted by to the generosity of Defence Team members include Canada’s military, support for military families, and those focusing on diversity awareness, mental health, homelessness, and many other important causes. To find out more about how to donate and how your donation impacts the work being done across the nation, we invite you to use the registered charities link.
