ODVA Awards Nearly $1 Million to Local Veteran Service Providers Across the State
The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs (ODVA) is pleased to announce the award of nearly $1 million in grant funding to support a range of robust and innovative local veteran service efforts and key projects to help improve veteran outcomes and provide critical services across Oregon.
The Legislature approved $972,653 for the Veteran Services Grant program for the 2025-27 biennium, which was first established following Oregon voters' overwhelming support of Measure 96 in 2016 dedicating 1.5 percent of Lottery net proceeds to fund veteran services. ODVA received proposals from across Oregon totaling more than $3.6 million in requested funds. Of these, 16 organizations were selected to receive awards, which range from approximately $10,500 to $145,000 for the one-time grants.
