Grant News
Charities and organisations that support soldiers, veterans, and their immediate families can apply for funding from ABF, the Soldiers’ Charity.
A variety of projects and activities can be funded, including:
- mental health support
- educational programmes and employment assistance
- family support
- housing assistance
- independent living
- elderly care
This might include helping wounded soldiers adapt to life after service, assisting elderly veterans in maintaining their independence, or supporting soldiers in embarking on new careers.
Up to 100 charities are usually funded annually, with grant amounts varying depending on the proposed project or activity.
Priority is given to member organisations of the Confederation of Service Charities or Veterans Scotland.
The Grants Committee meets in February, June, and November, and an additional Scottish Committee meets in April.
There is no minimum or maximum grant amount indicated. However, the charity is unlikely to provide grants of above £15,000 to an organisation with which it has had no previous relationship.
The next closing date for applications is on the 1st October 2024.
