Invictus: Endeavours
adventurous challenges beyond the Games
Going further
Access to grants
Capitalising on the knowledge and diverse experience of the Endeavour Fund (which transferred from the Royal Foundation to the Invictus Games Foundation in 2020) and supported by our participating nations, we identify and support WIS teams planning to engage in feats of sporting and adventurous challenge.
We offer advice, networks and grant funding to maximise the success of these endeavours. We also work to establish grassroots initiatives in countries where the concept of sports recovery is developing, or where resources do not exist to support it.
Invictus: Endeavours
The Foundation does more than just sports, it gives support to our groups through the grants that we receive - so we can actually help more people. What Invictus has given us is the power to help across the board.

While we always appreciate support of our everyday running costs, which helps unlock our capacity to deliver greater impact for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women around the world, we also welcome support of specific areas of our work.

This platform is for those who have been wounded, injured or fallen ill or sick during or as a direct consequence of service. You do not have to have competed in an Invictus Games, or trialled, to join this community.
This platform allows Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) to access opportunities offered by the Invictus Games Foundation in order to support, or share, their recovery journey. In addition, this platform also allows for communication between members of the international WIS community to discuss relevant opportunities, share knowledge and support each other during and post-recovery.
