The Veterans’ Foundation Small Grants funding programme supports charities and other not-for-profit groups that provide assistance to those in need among serving armed forces personnel, veterans, operationally qualified seafarers and their immediate families.
Grants are available for between £500 and £5,000 and must be spent within 12 months.
The Small Grants programme was set up to support primarily small, grassroots groups to flourish in the Armed Forces Community and to deliver impactful community-based activities. They envisage that it will target harder to reach groups that have not received funding from the foundation in the past such as:
Priority will be given to charities and organisations who can demonstrate that they are directly involved in the provision of support to those in need.
The foundation encourages applications from under-represented groups such as:
The trustees will consider a range of factors including the projects or items being funded, the number of beneficiaries, the importance of the grant to the applicant organisation, the efficiency of the organisation and the needs of the beneficiaries.
The programme works on a rolling basis, meaning that you can submit an application at any time.
