Released funds for year four of the grant program

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $750,000 to National Community Health Partners on October 1, 2025, under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) to deliver community-based suicide prevention services to veterans and their families.

The award funds year four of the grant program, with a performance period running through September 30, 2026. National Community Health Partners, a nonprofit organization based in Casa Grande, Arizona, provides outreach, suicide prevention services, and connection to VA and community resources for eligible veterans and families. The grant supports mental health interventions and assistance in accessing VA and public benefits for vulnerable populations.

The Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program aims to reduce veteran suicide by expanding suicide prevention programs through eligible organizations that serve veterans and their families in areas experiencing high suicide rates, rural communities, tribal lands, medically underserved areas, and communities with high concentrations of minority or women veterans. Annual renewal applications are required to continue funding. All grantees undergo audit by the VA Office of Business Oversight at least once during a three-year period, with records maintained for seven years.
