In addition to our individual grants programme, The Army Benevolent Fund also makes grants to other charities and organisations that provide services and support to the Army family: serving soldiers, former soldiers, and their immediate families (including the bereaved).
Whilst our primary focus will always be on meeting individual need as it arises, we expect to be able to support up to 100 other charities and organisations annually.
We welcome applications from organisations that meet the following criteria:
- Are a UK registered charitable organisation or Community Interest Company (CIC).
- Provide a service that directly supports the Army family, meeting an evidenced need that is not currently being met by statutory or other, including other charitable, providers.
-
Are going concerns that can demonstrate financial sustainability – evidenced through a least one years audited accounts – good governance, and impact
