The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking applications from state governments and federally recognized tribal governments for the Veterans Cemetery Grants Program. The grants may be used to establish, expand, improve, operate, and maintain veterans' cemeteries that are owned and operated by the applicant. Key requirements include conformance to VA standards, compliance with the Buy America, Buy American Act, and a focus on providing interment services for veterans and their eligible family members. The application deadline is July 1, 2025.
The Veterans Cemetery Grants Program has awarded over $1 billion in funding to support 122 veterans' cemeteries across 49 states and territories, including tribal trust lands. The grants can provide up to 100% of the development costs for approved projects, which may involve cemetery construction, renovation, infrastructure upgrades, and operational enhancements. Funded projects must be located within the applicant's state, territory, or tribal trust lands.
