Aims/priorities: The objective of the fund is to support Armed Forces Day events across the UK to show support for our servicemen and women, past and present.
Who can apply? Local councils, voluntary and community organisations, schools, ex-service organisations and individuals in the UK are eligible to apply.
For the 2023 round, applicants must be able to accept a credit card payment as MOD will no longer be using BACs transfer for the grant payment.
Grant amount: A maximum grant of £10,000 is available per application, provided that MOD funding accounts for no more than 50% of the total cost.
This grant is match funded and can cover up to half the total cost of the event. For example, if the total cost of the event is £10,000 and £5,000 has been raised, the grant could cover up to £5,000.
Application process: The first step in the application process is to register the event on the Armed Forces Day website.
Once groups have registered their event, they will receive a confirmation email within three working days. This email contains a link to submit an application for funding.
Deadline: Friday 31 March 2023.
