NAC Endowment Fund

NAC Endowment Fund

The Naval Association of Canada is dedicated to increasing the awareness of Canada as a maritime nation and the critical role that our Navy plays in the protection and development of our maritime interests.  This objective requires not only the dedication of our membership, but also funds to sustain this effort over the years.  To ensure that sufficient funds are available to support the many tasks that this mission calls for an Endowment Fund has been established.

The Declaration of Trust of the Endowment Fund in summary, states that the object of the Fund is to:

(a) to receive moneys and property donated to The Naval Association of Canada allocated by the donor to the Endowment Fund, and to receive other moneys and property allocated to it by The Naval Association of Canada, and to hold and invest such moneys and to expend the same in furtherance of the objects of The Naval Association of Canada;

(b) to promote and maintain interest in Maritime affairs generally, and particularly in the Maritime affairs of Canada, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) to sponsor either alone or in conjunction with others the conduct, preparation, publication and promotion of research in to matters of Maritime interest;
