Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust Announces Three New Funding Programmes

Health & Social Welfare

28 March 2022/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

New grant streams for providing targeted support to veterans, families and serving personnel.

Shaped by the results of a funding survey with over 450 respondents from across the community sector, the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has confirmed that three funds will open in the coming months:

Force for Change

Reopening in April 2022, this programme will focus on local projects tackling hidden and known needs in Armed Forces communities. Grants of up to £10,000 will be available for standalone projects enabling new approaches to be piloted.

Reaching and Supporting Armed Forces Communities

This is a new funding programme offering medium grants of £100,000 over three years, with up to £150,000 available in exceptional circumstances. Projects should address complex needs, particularly where there are identified gaps in service provision. It is also expected to open in April 2022.

Transformational Grants

Later in the year, a small number of large grants of up to £300,000 will be made to projects which have the potential to deliver significant and sustainable changes, focusing on innovative approaches to unmet needs.

Discussing the announcement, Anna Wright, Chief Executive of the Trust said:

“We’ll be looking for projects that can be really specific about who they will help, why they need this support and what the longer-term, sustainable impacts of the work will be.”

All three funds will be open by summer 2022, with full guidelines published in due course.
