Strategic Grantmaking

Grants at Veterans Collaborative

Supporting Veteran-Led Solutions, Grounded in Community

We know that too many Veterans, service members, and their families face challenges in access to vital resources and opportunity at the local level—housing, food, employment, mental health care, and community support.

At Veterans Collaborative, our grantmaking is focused on closing the gap between need and access by investing in local Veteran-led and Veteran-serving initiatives. We proudly support grassroots nonprofits and emerging projects working on the frontlines of transition readiness, wellness, and equity for our military-connected community.

How to Be Considered for Funding

Veterans Collaborative does not accept unsolicited grant requests. Instead, we encourage organizations to complete our VC Radar Submission Form—a simple way to help us discover, vet, and amplify exceptional Veteran-serving efforts.

This process allows us to identify strong mission-aligned programs for potential funding, capacity-building support, or future collaboration.

What We Look For

  • Veteran-led or Veteran-serving mission

  • Operating budgets under $1M preferred

  • Local, regional, or scalable community impact

  • Alignment with Veterans Collaborative’s priorities (transition, wellness, family services, innovation)

  • Commitment to data-informed outcomes and community partnership

Our Funding Partners

Through our trusted Partnerships, we help direct funding to ground-up, community-driven solutions that are often left out of the conversation—but are closest to the challenges Veterans and military families face. Our goal is to ensure Veteran-led efforts receive the support they need to not only sustain, but thrive.
