The BFBS Big Salute is now accepting grant applications from armed forces charities. Registered charities with an annual income below £1 million can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to deliver projects that benefit the military community in the UK and overseas.
The fund supports initiatives that improve wellbeing, connection and morale for serving personnel, reservists, veterans and their families. Eligible projects may include community events, creative activities or services that support mental health and reduce social isolation.
Grants mainly fund capital costs, such as equipment or materials. They do not cover salaries, training or running costs. Projects must start after January 2027 and show clear, measurable benefits within one year.
The application deadline is 31 July 2026. Only one application per charity can be submitted per financial year.
