Upstate Warrior Solution Inc. received a $750,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This award represents year-four funding for the veteran-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Greenville, South Carolina. The organization delivers community-based suicide prevention and mental health services targeting veterans and their families throughout South Carolina, with a specific focus on individuals at risk of suicide who are not currently engaged with VA healthcare.
The funded services include non-clinical suicide prevention initiatives such as outreach, mental health screening, suicide prevention counseling, and resource coordination as defined under 38 CFR Part 78. Additionally, Upstate Warrior Solution connects eligible veterans and their families to both Veterans Affairs and community-based mental health resources, addressing a critical prevention gap in regions outside traditional VA healthcare pathways. This grant continues the organization's ongoing commitment to expanding suicide prevention programming for the veteran population, consistent with VA's prioritization of community-based organizations demonstrating demonstrated experience in veteran suicide prevention services.
