Community Development Grants

Helping our troops to help others at home and abroad.

Named after Corporal Andrew “Boomer” Eykelenboom, a dedicated soldier and a Canadian Armed Forces medic killed by a suicide bomber in 2006. Boomer’s Legacy was inspired by Andrew’s desire to give back to the communities that he served in.

Managed by Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, Boomer’s Legacy empowers members of the Canadian Armed Forces to make a positive difference in their communities both at home and abroad.

Boomer’s Legacy funds humanitarian initiatives, which range from helping a family, a school, a hospital or a community, to providing opportunities for women and improving health care or education conditions. The goal of these projects is to build local capacity to create lasting impact.
