The Regimental Assistance Program is designed to alleviate outside pressures on serving members of The Queen's York Rangers and designated parts of the Regimental Family, in order to support their ability to parade with or otherwise assist the unit. The Regimental Assistance Program also alleviates the suffering of Ranger veterans and other members of the Regimental Family, in conjunction with existing Veterans Affairs Canada and other charitable initiatives.

The Regimental Assistance Program comprises three complementary parts:

  • The Regimental Assistance Fund

  • Regimental Scholarships

  • Guide to Assistance for Soldiers and Veterans

The Regimental Assistance Fund (RAF). This program is a tool for leaders to use to provide emergency funds, as grants or loans, to eligible members in order to alleviate outside pressures that prevent them from serving or to alleviate suffering.
