  9. Canadian Forces Central Fund

  10. My Vision Make CFPFSS one of the strongest military Morale and Welfare organizations in the Western world by providing programs that provide widest possible benefits to the greatest number of serving and former service personnel and their families: One Community, One Million Strong

  11. Our community services approach is still rooted in the CF – base structure of the 1950s NPP was central to the success of the CF communities of the 1950s and will need to be central to any future successful CF community model Underutilized today; capacity to be powerful enabler A Key Assumption Former CF members want to belong – want to maintain their CF affiliation Building on this desire will strengthen the CF community A key element of the US model is that retired personnel remain vital to and are valued by the military community One Community – One Million Strong

  12. Priorities • Empowerment • Increased local authority/delegations; • Increased consultation with B/W Comds; and • Greater autonomy over local, (legal) morale & welfare initiatives. • Branding • NPP Education, Training, and Certification Courses to improve governance and knowledge throughout the Chain of Command; • More holistic and coherent marketing and congruent communication strategy to increase CF-wide awareness of the breadth of available programs and services; and • Name and Logo change and better connection to military life and heritage within Staff of the Non-Public Funds Canadian Forces

  13. Priorities • Synergy • Organizational review; • Continued development and integration of DMFS, DQOL and Dependent Education Management; and • Leverage technology for greater effect, cost benefit and immediacy of impact.

  39. NPP Outreach & Sponsorship • SOT Program/Fund is attracting significant contributions from Canadians: • Individual Donations of dollars and products/services ; • Proceeds from Third Party Events; and • Contributions from events/campaigns held by Charitable Organizations (True Patriot Love, Canada Company and Wounded Warrior). • As number and complexity of events increases: • There are greater demands for DND/CF support; • There is little adherence to policy provisions; and • There are diminishing efforts to align with CF priorities . • Some external organizations competing with NPP “charities”; • Opportunity to increase sponsorship of NPP programs, activities and events, at national and local levels, but policy is being rewritten.
