Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: Local Grants Programme
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust makes grants to support members of the Armed Forces community. For the first 3 years, the Covenant Fund was based within the Ministry of Defence, and in April 2018, following a decision that it should become independent, it moved to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.The Armed Forces Covenant Fund has £10 million a year to make grants that support the Armed Forces Community.
Scheme details
Under the Armed Forces Covenant Local Grants programme, they make grants of up to £20,000 for local projects that support community integration or local delivery of services.
They want to fund projects that:
Help integrate Armed Forces and civilian communities across the UK, and/or
Deliver valuable local services to the Armed Forces Community.
Community Integration
Community Integration projects should create strong local links between the Armed Forces community, who are current and former members of their armed forces and their families) and civilian communities; and be able to clearly demonstrate how they will have impact in overcoming barriers to better integration; and improving perceptions, attitudes and understanding. For the project to be truly effective in achieving community integration there should be shared development, delivery and benefits for both communities.
They want to see projects which are rooted in their communities and which have grown out of a specific local need. It is important too that the project is not just the Armed Forces delivering something for the civilian community or vice-versa. For the project to be truly effective in achieving community integration there should be shared development, delivery and benefits for both communities.
