The Clocktower Foundation is a specialist grant-making charity established in its modern form in December 2014, with roots tracing back to an earlier fund supporting the Armed Forces community. Its core mission is to promote the efficiency of the Armed Forces, particularly HQ Hereford Garrison in Herefordshire, by supporting serving and retired personnel and their families. Guided by values of service, practical rehabilitation, holistic wellbeing, and community cohesion, the Trust adopts a strategic, needs-led approach, leveraging trustee expertise and Regimental connections for high-impact interventions that enhance military readiness and civilian transitions.
What Clocktower Foundation funds
The Foundation funds targeted activities including educational bursaries, employment transition support, emotional and practical services, health projects, and community-building efforts. These are exclusively for those connected to the HQ Hereford Garrison Regimental community, with a focus on fostering resilience and long-term empowerment within Herefordshire. The Trust supports both direct aid to individuals and organisational initiatives that align with Regimental needs.
Who can apply
Eligibility is highly specific: applicants must be directly connected to HQ Hereford Garrison and Herefordshire communities. The Foundation prefers small to medium-sized organisations or initiatives aligned with Regimental needs. There are no income thresholds set, but general charities outside this scope are ineligible. The Trust does not support broader Armed Forces or national causes, making it a distinctly niche, Regiment-focused funder.
What Clocktower Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not support broader Armed Forces or national causes, general charities outside the HQ Hereford Garrison Regimental community, or initiatives not directly connected to Herefordshire. It excludes any activities that fall outside its defined beneficiary group of serving and retired personnel and their families linked to the Garrison.
How they like to fund
Applications are invite-only, with no public calls for proposals. Prospects are identified via Regimental networks and consulted with military stakeholders. The Trust adopts a strategic, needs-led approach, leveraging trustee expertise and Regimental connections for high-impact interventions. Grants are tailored to need, with a focus on practical rehabilitation and community cohesion.
