The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to Community Building Art Works, Inc. under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). This grant supports the organization's efforts to provide suicide prevention services, outreach, and connection to VA and community resources for veterans and their families through creative expression and community-based programs.

Key services delivered under this grant include hosting outreach events, providing counseling and case management, and coordinating with community partners to enhance suicide prevention support for veterans. The organization also received sub-awards from South Arts, Inc. and Mid-America Arts Alliance to implement initiatives such as the ArtsHERE grant, which focused on improving data collection and management systems to advance research on the impact of community-based expressive arts on veterans' health outcomes, as well as the Mission Belonging project, which aims to reduce veteran suicide through accessible, community-based expressive arts workshops.

Suicide prevention grants are awarded to eligible entities to meet the needs of eligible individuals and their families through outreach, provision or coordination of suicide prevention services, and connection to VA and community resources as described in 38 CFR part 78
