o Health - to support people living with disabilities.
o Royal Navy/Royal Marines - to improve quality of life.
o Youth – to provide opportunities and support for disadvantaged young people, and
o Other (largely containing projects in the area of education, although not exclusively).
Grants are available for:
o Capital projects, such as new builds, extensions, refurbishment and recreational spaces.
o Equipment.
o Events.
o Furniture.
o IT projects, such as establishing a helpline or moving services online.
o Minibuses, and

The Foundation can offer multi-year grants starting at £5,000 per year. Although no maximum grant award level is specified by the Foundation, grants generally tend to be under £20,000. The Foundation will expect applicants to have sought and secured matched funding towards their project and rarely funds the full project cost.
