Grant
Veterans Cemetery GrantsThe Veterans Cemetery Grants Program (VCGP), administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), continues its mission to support the establishment, expansion, and improvement of state, territorial, and tribal veterans' cemeteries. Since 1980, VCGP has granted over $1.187 billion across 525 awards, resulting in 124 cemeteries serving veterans and their eligible family members. The program covers up to 100 percent of development costs for approved projects but excludes land acquisition, with the requirement that funded projects comply with the Build America, Buy America Act to ensure use of U.S.-produced materials. Cemeteries must be operated solely for veteran and eligible family member interments and adhere to VA standards and guidelines for site planning and construction. In alignment with Executive Order 14332 on improving oversight of federal grantmaking, the VA enforces strict compliance with applicable laws and grant criteria, explicitly excluding activities based on racial preference, gender ideology promotion, violations of immigration law, or involvement in waste, fraud, or moral turpitude. The 2026 solicitation invites pre-applications for projects prioritized for fiscal year 2027, reinforcing the President’s goal of enhancing veteran care and services. Notable recent developments include the establishment of two new cemeteries to serve previously unserved veterans and plans for a new cemetery in Texas set to open in 2026, further expanding access to burial options for eligible veterans across the country. All cemetery operations and maintenance remain the responsibility of the grant recipients, typically state or tribal governments.
