Pennsylvania Awards $800,000 Through Veterans' Trust Fund
The Shapiro Administration announced in Annville that $800,000 has been awarded through the Veterans' Trust Fund, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, to county directors of veterans affairs, nonprofits and Veteran Service Organizations.
Of the total, $145,670 is directed to county directors of veterans affairs and their state association for new, innovative or expanded programs, and $654,330 to Veteran Service Organizations and charitable nonprofits serving Pennsylvania veterans. Combined with matching funds secured by awardees, the grants will result in more than $3.5 million for veterans' initiatives over the next two years.
Since the fund began in 2013, $7,482,860 has been awarded. The fund is supported by Pennsylvanians who voluntarily donate $5 when applying for or renewing a driver's license, photo ID or vehicle registration. Governor Josh Shapiro said his administration stands behind the state's roughly 700,000 veterans. All awards are contingent on a fully executed grant agreement.
