Introduced in 2019-20, the Saskatchewan Veterans Service Club Support Program provides grants for repairs and upgrades, special events, operations, programs and activities to engage the community and advance the work of veterans' service organizations across the province.

Since the program's inception, over $4.2 million has been allocated to 294 successful projects across the province. The total funding available in 2023-24 is $1.5 million.

There are two planned application intake periods each year, and clubs are eligible to receive up to $30,000 in a year. Applications are adjudicated by a review committee consisting of representatives from the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command, the Saskatchewan ANAVETS and the Government of Saskatchewan.

More information about the program, guidelines, applications and eligibility are available through the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command at 306-525-8739 or admin@sasklegion.ca.
