Rolling (always open)
The Veterans' Foundation offers grants between £5,001 and £30,000. The money supports organisations helping serving and former armed forces members, operational qualified seafarers, and their families. This is a rolling programme, so there is no fixed deadline. Decisions are usually made within 12 to 16 weeks of applying. Trustees look at the project itself, how many people it will help, and how efficiently your organisation runs.
Who can apply:
Key requirements:
- Must support serving or former armed forces members, operational qualified seafarers, or their immediate families
- Must be an eligible organisation, not an individual
This grant is for organisations in England, Scotland, or Wales that support serving or former armed forces personnel, operational qualified seafarers, or their immediate families. It is not for individuals applying on their own behalf. It is also not for organisations whose work falls outside the armed forces and seafarer community.
