CloseThe Caisse des militaires enriches the lives of individuals and communities through its human and financial contributions. It is dedicated to the National defence community by supporting projects that align with the needs and expectations of its members and partners. Desjardins plays a crucial socio-economic leadership role in communities and works in conjunction with numerous partners. The Caisse des militaires supports various local, regional, and provincial initiatives through : (1) donations (2) sponsorships, or (3) contributions from the Community Development Assistance Fund. (1) A donation is a contribution, in the form of financial aid, materials or services, given to a non-profit organization, a charity, or a foundation, without any expectations of return. However, public recognition may be granted. It directly serves the cause associated with the organization. (2) A sponsorship is a partnership with an organization or a business aimed at business development, which must be realized through a visibility plan, benefits offered to members and clients, or by achieving business objectives. (3) The Community Development Assistance Fund is made possible by the annual surpluses of our caisse. It is the members, during the annual general meeting, who vote on the amount to allocate to this Fund. Through this act of solidarity, they commit to the development of their community. The investments from the Fund have a significant leveraging effect for many projects. Complementing other financial levers available in the community, notably from local, territorial, or sectoral development organizations, the Fund supports structuring projects that meet common needs. By structuring, we mean projects that have long-term positive impacts within the community of the Department of National Defence that : ● bring together different stakeholders around a common goal, presenting long-term positive impacts within a community; ● have significant added value for individuals and their living environments, supporting their development and capacity to act. The administration of the Fund is exclusively the responsibility of the board of directors of the Caisse. It is solely responsible for the use of the funds allocated to the Fund. A report on commitments is delivered annually to the members during the Caisse's general meeting.
