WASHINGTON (WDNews) — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has announced a $112 million grant opportunity aimed at expanding suicide prevention services for veterans nationwide.
The funding is available to nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, federally recognized tribes and other community-based groups that have a proven ability to serve veterans. The grants are offered through the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program.
Organizations interested in applying have until June 12, 2026, to submit applications.
“These grants invest directly in communities that know Veterans best and are often the first to recognize when someone is struggling,” VA Secretary Doug Collins said. “They have been successful in connecting Veterans, service members, and their families — especially those not yet engaged with VA — to services that help reduce suicide risk and promote well-being.”
According to the VA, the program focuses on reaching veterans who may not currently be connected to VA services, helping link them to mental health care, support resources and other services designed to reduce suicide risk.
More information about eligibility and application requirements can be found at grants.gov. The VA is also offering technical assistance, including webinars and guidance materials, through its mental health website.
