Team Forces Foundation
About This Funder
Team Forces Foundation, a UK-registered charity established in 2011, delivers social impact to the armed forces community through funding sport, challenge, and adventure activities that boost morale, physical fitness, mental wellbeing, resilience, and esprit de corps. Founded by military leaders like retired Major General Lamont Kirkland CBE and endorsed by the Ministry of Defence, it emphasises equitable, rapid grant-making with low overheads, strong reserves, and partnerships like the UKAF Sports Board, filling gaps left by other service charities via trustee expertise from military and industry backgrounds.
It prioritises grassroots and elite projects benefiting UK armed forces personnel, families, reserves, cadets, and veterans UK-wide, including competitive sports, expeditions, recovery activities, adaptive challenges, facility improvements, and mental health initiatives promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. Grant types cover project costs, equipment, events, and expeditions, but not routine core funding.
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and community groups (no income limits, favouring small/medium grassroots and forces-linked organisations) connected to the armed forces community. Applications are unsolicited via email (concise 2-page bids to enquiries@teamforces.org) on a rolling basis, with decisions at biannual trustee meetings (May/June, December/January), allowing flexibility for urgent needs; expect several months' processing.
Typical grants range £1,000–£5,000 (up to £10,000 exceptionally), distinguishing Team Forces through its exclusive armed forces focus, dual high-performance/participation emphasis, and transformative, needs-based approach over generalist funders.
