What this benefit is

Grants of no more than $5,000 to applicants running projects that benefit veterans of this state. Applications are accepted year round. This funds programmes and organisations, not an individual’s bills.

What it's worth: No greater than $5,000, to the organisation running the project

  • The division’s grants page states the award is no greater than $5,000 and provides funds to applicants to assist projects that benefit veterans.
  • The division accepts applications year round for this programme.
  • Eligibility criteria for applicants are not set out on the grants page, and no Idaho Code citation appears there.
  • This is an organisational grant. It is weighted at zero here because an individual veteran cannot claim it for their own household, and counting it as a personal benefit would be misleading.

Who is entitled to it

  • Your home is in this state.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

From what you have told us so far, you appear to qualify.

How to claim it

  1. 1If you run or volunteer for a group that serves veterans here — a transport service, a food programme, a peer support group — this is the fund to ask about.
  2. 2Call the Central Support Office on 208-780-1300 for the current application and the eligibility rules, which are not published on the grants page.
  3. 3Do not apply here for a personal bill. The individual routes are the statutory emergency relief programme and Joining Forces, both published separately.
  4. 4Apply when the project is ready rather than waiting for a round — the division states it accepts applications year round.

Once granted it does not need renewing.
Worth knowingThe fund is commonly described as established by statute to support veterans programmes. The statute could not be read this session because the legislature’s host refused every connection, so no code section is cited as authority here.
