VA announces fiscal year 2027 suicide prevention grant funding opportunity

VA has published a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (SSG Fox SPGP).

Through this funding opportunity, VA will award up to $111 million to eligible community-based organizations across the United States and U.S. territories. The program supports non-clinical, innovative and community-driven approaches to suicide prevention—particularly for Veterans who may not yet be connected to VA care and those living in under-resourced or high-risk areas.

The newly released NOFO outlines program priorities, eligibility requirements and application expectations for the fiscal 2027 grant period. VA strongly encourages interested organizations to review the NOFO and available technical assistance materials carefully as they consider applying.

SSG Fox SPGP applications are due by 4:59 p.m. ET on June 18, 2026, and award notifications will be issued by Sept. 30, 2026. 

Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, federally recognized Tribes and other community-based organizations with demonstrated experience supporting Veterans or service members.
