Timeline for Standard/Salary Grants funding decisions:听
The Veterans鈥� Foundation is pleased to be extending our rolling grants approach to both Standard and Salary Grants on a trial basis. This approach aims to remove the pressure of application deadlines, providing greater flexibility for applicants and supporting greater consistency in our decision-making.
We will make every effort to meet the decision timelines indicated above and appreciate your understanding if a short delay is required as we test and refine this approach. Please feel free to get in touch at any stage if you would like an update on your grant application - we鈥檒l be happy to help.
Limit to number of applications:
Due to high demand in grant funding applications, please note, if you have an existing grant award, you may submit an application for a new grant after 6 months from the date of the previous award.
