Funding

Not being a formal historical association or society, but more of a collective of like-minded researchers and scholars, the Military Welfare History Network does not charge any fees for association and so has no working capital. Thus, it requires external financial assistance in order to host its events and produce its academic outputs. Since its foundation in 2019, the Network has been fortunate enough to have received financial support from a variety of sources, for which it is most grateful. These include:

Formal funding grants from the following academic research funding bodies and academic societies:
