Veterans’ Foundation

Armed Forces charities and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to 200,000 to support serving armed forces personnel, veterans, operationally qualified seafarers and their immediate families.

The types of grants awarded include:

• Small grants of up to £5,000  to support primarily small, grassroots groups within the Armed Forces Community and to deliver community-based activities. The grant must be spent within 12 months.
• Projects grants of up to £30,000. This grant could be spread over up to three years.  
• Salary grants of up to £75,000 for up to three years. (max £25,000 per year).
• Major grants of up to £200,000 will be given to charities and organisations supporting those in need, including serving armed forces personnel, veterans, operationally qualified seafarers, and their immediate families. This programme is currently closed and will re-open in the first quarter of 2025.

The Veterans Foundation prioritises charities and organisations that can demonstrate they are directly involved in supporting those in need, as well as well-run organisations of low to medium wealth.

A range of factors will be considered in awarding grants, including the service or item being funded, the number of beneficiaries, the grant’s importance to the applicant organisation, the organisation’s efficiency, the beneficiaries’ needs, and its urgency.
