Solicitation Profile
In order to effectively address the continuing need for quality veteran services, New York State is providing $5 million in Grant funds to nonprofit Veterans’ organizations to make capital improvements to facilities that serve veterans. The Veterans Nonprofit Capital Program (“VNCP”) was established within the 2022-2023 NYS Budget.

VNCP will be administered by the New York State Division of Veterans Services (DVS) and is expected to be highly competitive. Veterans’ organizations are strongly encouraged to review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for additional information prior to applying.

2. Has the Applicant organization been in existence for at least five (5) years?
