Veterans' Foundation Grants Programme

The Veterans' Foundation (VF) has established a substantial grants programme to support charities and organisations that provide support to those in need among serving armed forces personnel, veterans, operationally qualified seafarers and their immediate families. The VF gives priority to charities and organisations who can demonstrate that they are directly involved in the provision of support to those in need, with preference for organisations with low to medium income. The range of charities and organisations supported by VF is extensive and includes areas such as homelessness, employability, financial disadvantage, disability, welfare issues, mental health, support for families and children and assistance during older age. Applications are assessed by the Grants Team and considered by the CEO and/or the Grants Committee, with typically four funding rounds per year. The Foundation encourages applications from under-represented groups including people with additional support needs, ethnic minorities, LGBT+ community, and female groups.
