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.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow grants for veteran nonprofit organizations down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.
