About grants for veteran nonprofits
Grants for veteran nonprofits fund organizations that serve U.S. military veterans, service members, and their families — supporting needs such as mental health, employment, housing, food security, and reintegration. Funding comes from federal agencies, dedicated veteran-focused foundations, and corporate and community funders, many of which prioritize evidence-based programs and strong community partnerships. These grants help close the gap between what those who served need and the resources available to them.
