Department of Veterans Affairs Now Accepting Grant Applications to Help Wisconsin Vets

Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) Secretary Dan Zimmerman announced the WDVA will begin accepting applications for grants up to $25,000 from registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that provide financial assistance or other services to Wisconsin veterans and their families. Nonprofits interested in applying for this grant opportunity must submit their completed applications by Nov. 30, 2017.

“We are proud to be part of a veterans community that works together to make sure that veterans and their families have access to a wide range of programs and services,” Secretary Zimmerman said. “With this grant, our nonprofit partners have been able to provide services ranging from sending children of fallen soldiers to camp, providing career skills training, purchasing medical equipment, giving disabled veterans the opportunity to hunt and trap, and more. We look forward to working again with these very important organizations to help improve the quality of life for Wisconsin’s veterans.”
