Released funds for year four of the grant program

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded Clear Path For Veterans Inc. $750,000 on October 1, 2025, under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) for year four of the grant program.

Clear Path For Veterans, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Chittenango, New York, will deliver outreach, mental health screening, suicide prevention counseling, and connections to VA and community resources to veterans and their families through September 30, 2026. The organization specializes in community-based support services addressing mental health, suicide prevention, and canine-assisted therapeutic interventions for veterans.

The Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program funds community-based suicide prevention efforts designed to reduce veteran suicide by expanding suicide prevention services to eligible veterans and their families. Eligible entities include incorporated private institutions or foundations, Indian tribes, community-based organizations with capacity to network with local civic organizations and regional health systems, and state or local governments. The program prioritizes geographic distribution of awards to areas with high rates of veteran suicide, applicants serving populations not currently receiving VA health care, and communities identified as rural, tribal, medically underserved, or high in minority or women veterans.

Place of performance is New York. The award obligates $750,000 for the one-year performance period, with all funding to be expended within that timeframe.
