The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded a total of $550,000 in grants to 14 nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving Wisconsin veterans and their families.

These organizations offer services ranging from financial aid and job training to entrepreneurship programs and mental health support. "Every year, I'm reminded of how much these organizations do for Wisconsin veterans, often reaching people our department can't reach on our own," said Secretary James Bond.

"These grants help fund emergency assistance, mental health support, housing, business training, and so much more. I'm proud of the partnership WDVA has with these nonprofits and grateful for everything they do on behalf of those who served."

The grants are from two programs: the Veteran Nonprofit Grant, available to all registered nonprofits that serve veterans, and the Veteran Entrepreneurship Grant, open to nonprofits that specifically provide entrepreneurship or technical, business, or other assistance to veteran entrepreneurs to improve employment outcomes.

One of the recipients of the funds includes The Highground Veterans Memorial Park receiving $25,000 for multiple programs, including three-day healing retreats for veterans, musical instruments and lessons, and mental health and educational exhibits.
