Funding projects supporting the delivery of the Nation's Covenant promise to our Armed Forces, Veterans & their families

About us

We award £10M of Covenant Fund money each year to projects that support the Armed Forces community. We also deliver other funding programmes to support the Armed Forces community, such as the Veterans' Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund and the Veterans' Community Centres programme. The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) supports the Armed Forces Covenant by delivering funding programmes that create real change to Armed Forces communities across the UK. We are a charity and are classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body, or NDPB. We look after the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, worth £10M each year. The Armed Forces Covenant Fund has four broad funding themes now and in future years. 1. Non-core healthcare services for veterans. 2. Removing barriers to family life. 3. Extra support, both in and after Service, for those that need help. 4. Measures to integrate military and civilian communities and allow the Armed Forces community to participate as citizens. We also work with HM Government to run other funding programmes that have a positive impact on Armed Forces communities.
