Veterans Assistance Grant

A one-time grant of up to $4,000 for Douglas County veterans with a genuine need, for the gaps that government programs and other nonprofits don’t cover.

Who’s eligible

To be considered, you need to meet all three:

Honorable or medical discharge

Proof of service is a standard DD-214.

Current Douglas County resident

Show proof with a utility bill or other mail delivered to your home. Mortgage statements and driver’s licenses aren’t accepted, because they don’t show where you live now.

A genuine need

For example: transportation, medical assistance, ADA home modifications, prescriptions, food, or a rent or mortgage eviction notice.

Each eligible veteran can receive one grant, up to $4,000.

Watch for our confirmation

We’ll confirm we received your application by email, or by mail if you don’t have email.

How decisions are made

Every complete application goes to our Board of Directors, which approves or declines it by majority vote. The board considers how deep and how urgent the need is, and may set the order in which applications are reviewed.

Homeless veterans are always at the top of the list.

We’ll let you know where your application stands within a reasonable time. Applying starts the board’s review; it doesn’t guarantee a grant.
