Applications are now open for RNRMC’s Transition and Support for Working-Age Veterans funding window – offering 1-year innovative grants from £1,000 up to £30,000 for organisations supporting Royal Navy and Royal Marines veterans as they move into civilian life.
Leaving the structure, identity, and community of service life can be challenging. Veterans often face hurdles around employment, finances, social connection, and wellbeing. This funding aims to support organisations delivering innovative, inclusive approaches that improve transition outcomes and provide lasting support.
Applications close: 12 January 2026
Decisions by: 23 March 2026
Projects must begin after: 1 April 2026
Who could apply
This grant is open to organisations that support Royal Navy and Royal Marines veterans. We welcome projects that are inclusive and accessible.
What we’re looking for
We welcome applications from organisations supporting working-age veterans. You do not need to address every area listed below – projects may focus on one, some, or a combination of these themes:
- Financial capability – supporting veterans to manage money, avoid debt, and build stability
- Peer and community support networks – creating spaces for connection, advice, and shared experiences
- Family and relationship support – strengthening the support veterans receive at home
- Ongoing post-transition support – helping veterans thrive beyond the initial transition period
Application criteria
Successful applications will demonstrate:
- Clear benefit to veterans
- Evidence of need aligned with the themes and outcomes
- A well-planned project: activities, staffing, communications, costs, and monitoring/evaluation
- Strong governance and management structures
- How the organisation will measure the difference made
- Commitment to report twice during the grant period
