Fulfilling Futures is one of the programmes being launched under the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust's three-year Covenant Fund Funding Framework released in April 2024.
The programme sits under the theme of ensuring Armed Forces communities are not disadvantaged. It aims to support Veterans who have experienced demonstrable and considerable challenges during their Service, with a specific cause, which has created a barrier to, or compromised their ability to have, a fulfilling Service journey.
This is a specialist, targeted programme and funding will only be granted to projects where the need has been established through a particularly robust evidence base.
The funding is for pilot projects or new approaches. Projects will address the needs of geographically dispersed communities of Veterans affected by a specific issue. They will most likely be run on a national or regional basis or, exceptionally, in densely populated localised areas.
Projects must meet the following outcomes:
- Veterans' experiences are acknowledged and understood, enabling them to positively progress on their recovery journey.
- Veterans' isolation will be reduced and quality of life improved, through gaining access to effective support.
- Veterans can build a positive connection within the wider Armed Forces community and access support in the future, should they wish or be able to access other support mechanisms that are most relevant to them.
The programme offers the following grants for projects to start between 1 March 2025 and 1 June 2025:
- Grants of between £50,000 and £100,000 for a project of 12-18 months in duration which meets at least one programme outcome.
- Grants up to £300,000 for a project lasting three to four years in duration which meets all the programme outcomes.
Applications will be accepted from UK registered charities, Community Interest Companies, local authorities and statutory organisations based and working in the UK.
The application deadline is 4 December 2024 (12 noon) with a decision by end of February 2025.
