We work alongside a wide network of charities, services and organisations that support the Armed Forces Community. Collaboration is an important part of how we extend our reach and deliver impact.
Our External Grants programmes provide funding to not-for-profit organisations delivering meaningful support to the people we serve.
By funding expert partner organisations, we can reach beneficiaries we could not support alone and build on the knowledge and experience that already exists across the sector.
Our funding priorities are shaped by our 10-year strategy and by emerging needs within the community. Details of the programmes currently available are set out below.
Community Grants Programme
The Community Grants Programme provides funding for projects that help members of the Armed Forces community connect and come together in their local areas.
Through our Connect strategic pillar, we support projects that strengthen relationships, build local connections, and bring people together.
We will fund projects that create more opportunities for members of the Armed Forces community to connect, take part in shared activities, and feel part of their local community. The programme is delivered in partnership between Head Office and local Membership Branches.
Funding is available for up to £25,000 per year for up to 2 years.
Applications close on Sunday 2 August. We reserve the right to close applications earlier if demand is high.
