"Through IDVA's GVS program, IDVA has consistently provided crucial funding, resulting in life-changing opportunities for veterans throughout Indiana. We are excited to continue to offer these grant opportunities to veteran-serving non-profit organizations across the state," said Gabrielle J. Owens, IDVA General Counsel.
