The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded Community Service Council, 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, obligating the full amount for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Community Service Council, a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, delivers community-based suicide prevention services to veterans and their families at risk of suicide, providing outreach, mental health interventions, and connections to VA and community clinical resources. The program aims to reduce veteran suicide by expanding prevention efforts in underserved areas, including rural communities, tribal lands, and regions with high veteran suicide rates or elevated Veterans Crisis Line call volumes.

The organization has secured multiple VA grants totaling over $18 million since 2021, operating primarily under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) and this suicide prevention program. Recent awards include a $6,968,454 SSVF grant in October 2024 and a $1,409,021 SSVF grant in October 2025. The suicide prevention grant represents a consecutive annual award of $750,000 to Community Service Council for this program cycle.
