Applications welcome for Veteran Mental Health Community-Based Organization Grant program   

Gov. Tony Evers, together with Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Secretary James Bond, announced that applications are now being accepted for the Veteran Mental Health Community-Based Organization Grant program, according to a recent press release.  

Gov. Evers initially announced the grant funding as part of a $10 million investment directed by the governor and supported by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to support veteran services across the state. 

The Veteran Mental Health Community-Based Organization Grants are open to nonprofit organizations that promote positive mental health through activities, programs, and services that enhance the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of Wisconsin veterans. Each nonprofit can receive up to $50,000 to support its efforts in providing mental health support for veterans. Applications must be received by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 31.
