Soldier On Grant Program
Participation in sport or physical activity is an integral part of your recovery, but the financial cost may be too high.
We can provide you with short-term financial support so that the cost does not stand in the way of your active lifestyle. We’ve already given more than $8 million directly to support your peers.
Thank you for reaching out to Soldier On. The second window of application is now closed. Due to limited funding, only 400 applications will be accommodated per window. If you are emailing regarding your application, please be aware that if you have received a response from the submission form, your application has been successfully received. You will be notified via email of the decision once the proper approval authority renders it.
Please be aware that grant applications are typically processed within 15 to 20 business days from the date of submission. However, it is important to note that, due to the high volume of applications, processing and response times may extend beyond this timeframe.
Soldier On will have three grant windows this fiscal year (May, August and November).
The third window of applications will open in November 2025. Stay tuned for more details.
