Work for the Trust
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is a grant making charity, which supports the Armed Forces Covenant by funding projects which address specific priorities. To find out more about our work and the organisation, please explore our website
This is an exciting time to join us at the Trust. We’re committed to learning from and sharing the achievements of our grant holders and the impact of our funding programmes.
We are seeking two new Trustees to join our dynamic and ambitious Board. As both a charity and a Non-Departmental Public Body, we support delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund of £10M, and facilitate funding on behalf of other bodies including the Office for Veterans Affairs, and HM Treasury. These are delivered through grant making to organisations both within and outside the Service charity sector, and last year we facilitated £31.7M in grant programmes.
We are seeking two Independent Trustees, one with senior level experience in grant making and one with extensive knowledge of human resources, to join a dynamic team of senior military and government officials from across the UK.

Appointment details: Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust – Two Independent Trustee Roles
The deadline for applications is 1 May 2025 at midday.
We are looking for external members with significant grant making experience to serve on our Grants Committee, together with some of our Board members. This would offer an opportunity for someone who is perhaps working for another funder to gain an insight into the work of the Trust and share their knowledge and expertise.
The committee is responsible for approving grant decisions across a range of grants programmes and approving, if necessary, grant variations and withdrawals. The committee takes into account the Board’s principles including the need to achieve a distribution of funds to a reasonably wide spread of recipients across the United Kingdom and with regard to the specific needs of the Devolved Administrations.
The role is unpaid/voluntary, but reasonable expenses will be paid in line with the Trust’s travel and subsistence policy.
Full details about this role can be found here: Grants Committee – External members (voluntary) role description.
