The Veterans’ Foundation will open a new Major Grants Programme on 2nd March 2026, aimed at supporting collaborative projects across the Armed Forces sector.
The programme will offer grants of between £200,000 and £500,000 for projects running over 12 to 24 months. Funding is intended for partnership-led initiatives that generate learning, test new ideas and strengthen cross-sector working.
Eligible projects may include piloting new approaches, action learning or feasibility studies, impact research and joint working between organisations. Applications must be submitted by partnerships involving at least two organisations, with a registered charity or community interest company limited by guarantee acting as the lead partner.
Expressions of interest will open on Monday 2nd March 2026 and close on Monday 20th April 2026.
The Veterans’ Foundation will host a pre-application Q&A webinar on Tuesday 3 March 2026 for organisations considering applying and seeking clarification on the process or guidance. Organisations can register interest in the session by contacting grants@veteransfoundation.org.uk.
Full guidance and key dates will be available on the Veterans’ Foundation website from the programme launch.
