Associate DG − NPP Outreach
• SOT programs / funds attracting significant contributions from
Canadians
– Individual donations of dollars and products / services
– Proceeds from third party events
– Contributions from events / campaigns held by charitable organizations
• e.g.: 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 internal NPP
“charities”

Associate DG − Sponsorship

and events, at national and local levels

levels to be approved, annually, in advance
– Enhanced oversight of the use of sponsorship for major events / activities
that are ‘not public’ – Army Run, Air Force Run
– Improved visibility and facilitation of sponsors being targeted and
sponsorship arrangements being concluded
– MFRCs being subjected to the policy provisions
– B/W Commanders to be held accountable for NPP sponsorship activities,
with assistance of PSP Managers
