NDWCC 2026 – Launch

September 10, 2026

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2026 National Defence Workplace Charitable Campaign (NDWCC). The national launch of the campaign will be taking place on Thursday the 10th September 2026 at HMCS Carleton in Ottawa, as well as virtually. Information will be added about launches in various regions on the website as they become available.

We encourage you to dive into the vibrant NDWCC events and activities happening in your region. These are experiences you won't want to miss! We certainly wouldn't.

This is a donors’ choice campaign, meaning personal donations that are eligible for a tax receipt can be donated to the registered charity of your choice through the GCWCC platform. Donations can be made through Payroll deduction, Credit Card, PayPal, Cheque or Cash. Learn more about the NDWCC and ways to donate.

 Last year, we raised over $2.1 million nationally and provided funds to thousands of registered charities in more than 90 communities across Canada. We supported research for cures and treatment of illnesses, institutions that help the sick at home and abroad, and many other valuable charities. We helped provide an amazing level of support that make a real difference in our communities. These charities provide for many Canadians, sometimes even for members of our own Defence Team.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the incredible volunteers who have organized and driven this campaign within the Defence Team. Your hard work, dedication, and outstanding efforts have been greatly appreciated! This campaign's success is a testament to your strong commitment. We also extend our gratitude in advance for your generous donations. Your contributions are the key to this charitable campaign. Whether you're a first-time donor or have been supporting us for 30 years, let's continue to spread hope, create opportunities, and give what we can. Every bit helps!
