Grants for Veterans in the UK
This page is for veterans and the armed forces community — ex-forces founders starting or growing a business, and organisations supporting service leavers with employment, enterprise and wellbeing. Subvention surfaces the live grants that match and links every result to the official funder. Free to search, no signup wall.
Grants change frequently — always confirm eligibility, amounts and deadlines with the funder via the linked source. Subvention does not guarantee funding.
Who this is for
Funding for veterans spans enterprise support for ex-forces entrepreneurs and grants to charities and community groups delivering employment, wellbeing and resettlement services for the armed forces community. Subvention covers both — match your company by name, or use the grant finder to search across community and charity funds.
Availability changes — check the finder
Veteran-specific grants are intermittent — the Armed Forces Covenant Fund and similar schemes open in rounds, so there may be none open on any given day. When that's the case, the grant finder searches the full live index against your profile, so you still see the funding you may be eligible for. Check back as new rounds open.
