The Foundation will award one-year program grants up to $20,000 for veterans’ organizations, serving veterans and their families. Grant funds will not support general operating support.
The Veterans Health Initiative will be issued under a Request for Proposals period that will open February 3, 2025. It will remain open through the submission deadline of May 7, 2025. Applicants will be informed of grant decisions in July 2025. The one-year grant period will commence October 1, 2025, and run through September 30, 2026. Please note that this is a one-time special grants program.
