Household Cavalry Foundation
About This Funder
The Household Cavalry Foundation, established in 2012 as the official registered charity of the Household Cavalry, supports serving soldiers, operational casualties, veterans, dependants, and retired horses, while preserving the regiments' heritage dating back to 1660. Rooted in core values of tradition, service, welfare, and remembrance, it evolved from squadron-led fundraising during 2000s deployments to provide enduring duty of care, addressing physical/psychological injuries, financial hardship, bereavement, and regimental solidarity beyond statutory services.
It funds direct welfare grants for individuals (e.g., rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, wellbeing), support for families of fallen soldiers, equine care including veterinary and stabling for retired mounts, and regimental projects like heritage preservation, museum enhancements, commemorative events, and ceremonial activities that foster esprit de corps. Priorities emphasize the unique 'regimental family'—soldiers, ex-soldiers, dependants, and horses—delivered across England and Wales.
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities or organizations with direct Household Cavalry ties, such as Regimental Associations of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals; external charities or the general public cannot apply. No income thresholds apply, but preference is for small/medium regimental entities. Grants range from £500–£30,000 (typical individual awards £hundreds–thousands; projects £5,000–£30,000), awarded on a rolling basis via internal regimental channels with needs assessment—no open applications, forms, or deadlines.
Distinctively, it excludes unrestricted/core funding, non-regimental causes, or replication of state/NHS provision, standing out for its exclusive focus on Household Cavalry welfare, equine bonds, and living military heritage in the UK landscape.
