Improving the lives of Canadian amputees since 1918 by providing essential funding for artificial limbs and advocacy for amputees’ rights.
A philosophy of “amputees helping amputees” has been the hallmark of The War Amps since 1918, when the organization was founded by amputee war veterans returning home from the First World War. Our programs have grown over the years from assisting war amputees – whom we still serve – to all amputees, including children. It is thanks to donors like you that all our programs are possible.
The War Amps does not receive government grants; our funding comes from the public’s support of our Key Tag Service. Since it was created in 1946, the Key Tag Service has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys to their owners.
Please visit waramps.ca for more information on our programs or to order key tags.
