The Veterans’ Foundation provides grants up to £30,000 for small to medium sized not-for-profit organisations in England, Scotland and Wales, including registered charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and community groups that are directly involved in the provision of support to those in need in the Armed Forces and Seafaring community. Please note that grant awards tend to be significantly lower than the maximum award level of £30,000.
Grants can be used for project and the running costs of eligible organisations. Examples of the type of project that can be funded through the programme include (please note this is not an exclusive list):
o Care during old age.
o Disability.
o Improving employment prospects.
o Improving mental health, including building confidence, self-esteem and social interaction.
o Reducing homelessness and poverty.
o Tackling addictions (for example, drugs and alcohol), and
o Welfare and medical support.
Grant awards, which can be for up to £30,000, can be used over a 1, 2 or 3-year period. The Foundation may expect applicants to have a degree of matched funding in place prior to applying, particularly from eligible organisations with a limited track record of successful delivery.
Further information, guidance and an application form is available on the Foundation’s website.
The Foundation normally considers applications every 3 months. The next application deadline is Friday 20th May 2022.
