Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: Could your organisation help strengthen support for serving families facing separation and relocation?
Could your organisation help strengthen support for serving families facing separation and relocation?
Armed Forces Covenant Trust (the Trust) are inviting applications for a new place-based grants programme, giving organisations the chance to strengthen support for serving families affected by separation and relocation.
For many serving families, separation and relocation can affect every part of life - from daily routines and relationships to wellbeing and a sense of stability. Together for Service Families: place-based grants is a fantastic opportunity to help change that by backing strong local partnerships that make support easier to find, easier to access and better suited to the realities of service life.
What’s it all about?
At the heart of this new programme are place-based portfolio projects led by one organisation and delivered with a range of partners. If your organisation understands its local area, values partnership working and wants to create meaningful change for serving families, this is a fantastic opportunity to drive that change locally.
Up to £350,000 is available for portfolio grants lasting up to 3.5 years, including an initial discovery or development phase of up to six months. This gives organisations the chance to build strong local partnerships, understand needs in depth and create lasting change beyond the life of the grant.
Is it for me?
This programme is open to UK-based registered charities with substantial recent experience of supporting armed forces communities, as well as local authorities. If your organisation is ready to lead ambitious local partnership work that improves support for serving families, we’d love to hear from you.
What type of projects can be supported?
The Trust want to hear from organisations ready to lead projects that tackle immediate challenges and strengthen how support is designed and delivered locally over time.
Applications will follow a two-stage process, starting with expressions of interest from organisations that want to act as the lead organisation for a local portfolio of work.
Find out more
If this sounds like the right opportunity for your organisation, submit your expression of interest by 12 noon 19 August 2026. You can find full programme guidance, eligibility information and application details on the Trust’s website www.covenantfund.org.uk
Keep up to date with funding opportunities
For the latest updates and announcements on each of these Covenant Fund programmes, and any other funding opportunities the Trust has available throughout the year, sign up to their e-newsletter via their website www.covenantfund.org.uk
