About the Veterans' Foundation
Founded in 2016, the Veterans’ Foundation is a grant-giving charity dedicated to serving veterans and their communities across the UK. We back the people and organisations that understand and respond to the challenges facing veterans, their families, and their communities.
From national charities to local community initiatives, we support projects addressing key issues such as mental health, housing and community-based support. Together, we listen to veterans and help make an active difference in their lives.
As a grant-giving organisation, we are rigorous in the projects we invest in, partnering strategically and measuring outcomes for veterans and their communities. To date we have awarded nearly £40 million in grants.
The Veterans’ Lottery, the UK’s largest single-cause lottery, remains the main source of funding for the Foundation’s grants programme.
