LANSING – The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) announced the application process is officially open for the Fiscal Year 2026 Michigan Veterans Nonprofit Improvement Grant Program — a competitive funding opportunity designed to strengthen and modernize facilities serving Michigan’s veteran community.

The application deadline is April 30 at 5 p.m. with an anticipated award date of May 14. To learn more about eligibility criteria and apply, visit https://www.michigan.gov/dmva/quality-of-life/dmva-grants/veterans-nonprofit-improvement-grants.

This one-time grant program provides funding to eligible nonprofit veterans’ organizations to support capital improvement projects that enhance service delivery, improve safety and extend the useful life of facilities dedicated to those who have served.

“Michigan’s veteran service organizations are on the front lines of delivering critical support to those who have served our nation,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, adjutant general and director of the DMVA. “Through the Michigan Veterans Nonprofit Improvement Grant, we are investing in the infrastructure that makes that service possible, ensuring facilities are safe, accessible and equipped to meet the evolving needs of our veteran community. This program is about strengthening the spaces where veterans connect, receive assistance and build community, so they can continue to thrive long after their service has ended.”

Eligible organizations are strongly encouraged to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to improve infrastructure and expand their impact within the veteran community.
