The NAAFI Fund comes from funding made available by the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (Royal NAAFI). The Trust was delighted to have worked with Royal NAAFI over the last three years, supporting with the administration of small grants programmes. Royal NAAFI will now be directly managing all projects from Round 4 onwards of the NAAFI Fund.

The NAAFI Fund is funding made available by the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI). NAAFI is the in-house service provider to HM Forces of catering, retail, leisure, and facilities management services. The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust administered the NAAFI Fund on behalf of NAAFI.

This programme makes grants to armed forces units for projects that have a positive impact on the lives of serving personnel and their families.

Only British armed forces can apply. Applications are welcome from units based in the UK and overseas, and from all three services.

Grants should be used to help serving personnel and their families be healthier and more active as well as providing activities or enhancing spaces to socialise in order to improve their mental health.

This programme is now closed – no application resources are available.

Further information about new applications to the NAAFI Fund (R4 onwards) can be found on the Royal NAAFI website: naafi.co.uk/giving-back
