Veterans Services Grants Coming Up in August
August brings a solid month of funding opportunities for nonprofits serving veterans and their families.

Some have firm deadlines this month; others accept applications year-round. Either way, these are relationships worth strengthening.

Georgia is offering up to $1 million to community behavioral health programs that use evidence-based practices and build military cultural competency into staff training.
