About Military Families Fund (MFF)
The Military Families Fund (MFF) was created in April 2007 by General Rick Hillier, the former Chief of Defence Staff, to assist military families faced with unforeseen and often immediate needs that have resulted from military conditions of service. The fund continues to grow through the generous contributions of Canadians, corporations and other organizations, adding a new vehicle to support Canadian Forces members and their families. The MFF enhances and complements, it does not replace, existing public and non-public programs. The Fund fills the gaps by providing for the unforeseen and often immediate needs that families may have due to conditions of service. The MFF allows for several areas of support by way of grants, including rehabilitation, education, financial assistance in the case of injury or death of a Canadian Forces member due to service.
About Boomers Legacy
The Boomer's Legacy Foundation, named in honour of Corporal Andrew James "Boomer" Eykelenboom, a Canadian military medic who was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan in 2006, was developed to aid the women and children in Afghanistan. Monies raised for the Foundation will be used to directly support the people of Afghanistan affected by poverty and war with an emphasis on programs and services for women and children. The funds will be expended through Canadian Forces' Task Force Afghanistan using the Assistance to Afghanistan Trust Fund, under the authority of the Commander, Task Force Afghanistan. To date, all collected monies have been spent on items such as food, medical equipment, educational supplies, clothing, and mechanical parts and equipment.
