Tester announces applications open for veteran suicide prevention grant
Following efforts from U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, the Department of Veterans Affairs is now accepting applications for the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program for fiscal year 2025.
This first-of-its-kind grant program was created under the Senator’s landmark Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act (Hannon Act) to provide federal funding for local veteran suicide prevention programs.
“Mental health is one of the biggest issues facing our country, our state, and our veterans,” said Tester, Chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “That’s why I’m proud to have championed this grant to help Montana suicide prevention groups connect our veterans with the life-saving services and resources they need closer to home. These community-based programs are critical in our fight to end veteran suicide.”
