The following steps outline the complete process for initiating, approving, and closing Boomer’s Legacy projects. All Boomer’s Legacy grant applications, whether for domestic or international exercises and operations, must be submitted through the CJOC Defence Digital Approval (DDA) system.
Step 1: Submit Project Proposal
The Project Initiator must complete the application form and submit it to the CJOC J3 Mission Desk Officer (CJOC J3 Msn DO) no later than 15 business days before the event. If this timeline cannot be met, provide clear justification for the delay. Projects must be completed within a single rotation.
Step 2: Initial Review
The CJOC J3 Msn DO reviews the application for completeness and forwards it to the Director General Support Coordinator (DG Sp Coord).
Step 3: Staff Validation
The DG SP Coord engages relevant specialist advisors for validation. Any questions arising from this review will be communicated to the Task Force (TF) Commander and Project Initiator through the J3 Msn DO.
Step 4: Endorsement
Once all advisor recommendations are addressed, the DG Sp Coord seeks formal endorsement from the CJOC Director General Support (DG Sp).
Step 5: Approval
After endorsement, the proposed project is submitted to Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) for final approval.
Step 6: Notification
CFMWS notifies the Project Initiator and DG Sp Coord of approval or non-approval. If approved, CFMWS provides the approved application, post-project report template and Spending Authorization Form (SAF), if required.
Step 7: Financial Administration
The TF Financial Officer (Fin O) bills the financial code provided. If funds need to be transferred to a ship, CFMWS will transfer them to the appropriate ship’s fund entity. Expenditures must be reconciled within 30 days of project completion.
Step 8: Project Summary and Imagery
Within 30 days of project completion, the Project Initiator must submit to CFMWS and the DG Sp Coord a public-facing report, high-quality images and participant testimonials. This content should clearly showcase CAF member involvement, as it is critical for donor reporting and to sustain fundraising efforts.
