1. Why is the Donation of Remembrance only paid to those who have died since January 1, 2020?
The National Police Federation Benevolent Foundation Board was established in January 2020 and started operations shortly thereafter. All Donations of Remembrance from the start date of the Foundation will be honoured.
2. Are there Benevolent Foundation benefits for Members who are injured on duty?
No. Members injured on duty should report any on-duty injury to their supervisor and record the injury on a Lab1070. Members should also consult their local NPF representative to inquire about other entitlements related to a duty related injury.
3. What is the legal definition of ‘next of kin’?
A person’s next of kin is their closest living blood relative, including spouse and adopted family members.
4. Is a retired NPF Member eligible for the Donation of Remembrance?
No. Once an NPF Member retires and ceases paying dues they are no longer eligible. RCMP retirees should contact the RCMP Veterans’ Association Foundation to inquire about possible support/assistance in retirement.
5. My spouse was a Member of the RCMP and the National Police Federation. My spouse passed away since January 1, 2020 and I have not received the Donation of Remembrance payment. Who should I contact?
Please click on “contact us” on our webpage at https://npf-fpn.com/npfbf-contact-us/ and forward us your contact information and any questions you may have.
6. Does the RCMP offer any assistance to the family of Members who die on or off duty, separate from this NPF donation?
Yes. Inquiries related to Member death benefits can be found in the RCMP’s Critically Injured and Fallen Member Guide (CIFMG). The Corps Sergeant Major is responsible for publishing and updating this guide. All inquiries related to the CIFMG should be directed to the Corps Sergeant Major or the Warrant Officers within the RCMP Divisions.
