Transformational Grants programme now open
Following the success of its first year, we are delighted to announce the launch of the Transformational Grants programme for 2023/24.
What’s it all about?
This is a highly specialised programme, that we have designed to support a small number of projects to bring about systemic change for Armed Forces communities. That is, permanent and significant positive changes or improvements where there are currently hidden needs not being met within the community.
Prioritising prevention
Building on learning gained from last year’s applications and awards, we will prioritise those projects with a clear, preventative focus, and where there will be a sustained legacy, whether in embedded good practice, improved knowledge and evidence, or in some other defined way.
The best applications under this programme will:
- define a problem for a particular group of beneficiaries in the Armed Forces community
- clearly show that this need is not being met
- propose a new way of working or a new solution beyond that offered by any current provider, especially including a preventative approach.
What’s available?
We will award grants of up to £300,000 for projects up to five years in length.
Given the nature of this programme and size of grant available, we will provide a two-stage application process, with an initial expression of interest stage now open.
The deadline for stage one expressions of interest is Monday 14 August 2023.
If your organisation is successful at stage one, we will invite you to submit a full application later in the year.
We expect this programme to once again be highly competitive.
