The award solicitation for the Grants for Veterans’ Services (GVS) is now open through May 1, 2025. Eligible applicants must be a non-profit organization registered with the Indiana Secretary of State. The organizations must use the grant funds to serve Indiana veterans in any of the following areas:

Through the GVS program, the IDVA plans to award grants ranging from $10,000 to $75,000. The volume of eligible applicants, applicants’ needs, and the funding availability will determine individual award amounts.
"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.
