VA Awards Record $106.5M in Grants to 21 State Veterans Cemeteries for Fiscal 2026
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced on October 27 that it will award $106.5 million in grants to 21 state veterans cemeteries in fiscal year 2026, a record annual amount for the program.
The funding supports construction, expansion and improvement projects at state veterans cemeteries. Through these grants VA partners with states to expand burial capacity for veterans and their spouses and dependents, keeping dignified burial options close to home.
In addition to grant-supported state cemeteries, VA's National Cemetery Administration directly operates the national cemetery system across the country; together they form the backbone of burial benefits for U.S. veterans.
