The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is offering $112 million in grant funding to support organizations that provide suicide prevention services to veterans. 

Funding is available through the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program to nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, federally recognized tribes and other community-based organizations, according to a March 18 news release from the department. Applications are due June 12. 

The program supported more than 17,000 veterans, service members and family members in 2025, a 31% increase from 2024. Nearly 9,000 veterans were identified as being at elevated risk of suicide, 91.8% of whom reported a decrease in risk factors after receiving services from grant recipients.

Over 2,500 veterans enrolled in VA healthcare for the first time in 2025 through interactions with grantees, up 43.7% from 2024. Since 2022, the VA has awarded $210 million to 111 organizations across 46 states, U.S. territories and tribal lands through the program.
