Description

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) is an NDPB and registered charity that makes grants to support the UK Armed Forces community at home and overseas.

The Trust recognises and has shown that small grants are important to a wide range of organisations supporting a wide variety of beneficiaries. The research to be carried out during the delivery of this contract will enable a deeper understanding of the role of small grants in the wider voluntary sector, and more specifically in the context of supporting the Armed Forces community.

The aims and objectives of the research include revealing the breadth and depth of the small grants landscape in the UK, learning from other grant makers' best practice, insights and recommendations, and comparing and contrasting the Trust's practices and small grants programmes to enable the Trust to continue to strive for excellence in supporting the Armed Forces community in the UK and abroad.

Full details and specifications, including how to submit a proposal, are included in the available tender documents.
