Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: Removing Barriers to Family Life
Overview
The programme will make grants to projects where they can see that the project is addressing a clear need, and where they think the idea will be of practical benefit to Armed Forces Families. The focus of the project should be on supporting the family; rather than serving personnel or veterans.
This programme will be delivered in two strands:
Medium Strand: Grants of between £30,000-£100,000 to support existing or new projects that meet a clear need for Armed Forces Families.
Large Strand: Grants between £100,001- £300,000 with some exceptional projects potentially receiving up to £500,000. Projects will need to be able to show that they will have a transformative effect, and that the changes they achieve will be sustainable.
There are three key groups of people that they would like to support under this programme:
- Young People from Armed Forces Families
- Families and Carers of Veterans
- Serving Families
Grants are for projects lasting between 1 and 3 years.
Who can apply?
The application must be from either:
- a registered charity, which meets their definition of an Armed Forces Charity
- a Community Interest Company which meets their definition of an Armed Forces CIC or
- an armed forces unit with a UIN.
Where can the project be based?
- Your project should be based within the UK. A project might cover the whole of the UK, or a smaller area. This should be based on the need of your project, and the Armed Forces Families that we are supporting through this programme.
- The Trustees of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust are looking to fund grants delivering projects in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as in England.
- If your project is supporting international families, they may support some elements of your work overseas with these families.
What can you apply for?
They can pay for most of the revenue costs that you’ll need for your project such the support that you are giving to Armed Forces Families, your evaluation costs, and your cross sector partnership development work; up to the limits that we have specified. See below a list of things they cannot pay for.
