About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking grant applications for the Grants for Transportation of Veterans in Highly Rural Areas program for fiscal year 2025. The program aims to provide innovative transportation services to veterans in counties with less than seven persons per square mile, helping them access VA-authorized healthcare appointments. Eligible applicants are limited to Veterans Service Organizations recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and State Veterans Service Agencies. The competitive grant selection process will evaluate applications based on program implementation plan, evaluation strategy, community relationships, and innovative approaches. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on August 23, 2025.
Approximately $8.0 million is authorized for appropriation, with individual grants not exceeding $50,000 per highly rural area. The VA anticipates awarding 3-4 new grants ranging from $100,000 to $1.5 million. Successful applicants will receive a one-year grant and will be required to provide detailed reporting on transportation services, including veteran data, trip details, and service outcomes. The program will focus on counties currently lacking transportation grant coverage, as detailed in the attached spreadsheet of eligible counties across states including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, and others. The geographic focus remains on states with significant rural populations, emphasizing improved medical care access for veterans in geographically isolated regions.
