Arizona Veterans' Hall of Fame Grant

The Arizona Veterans' Hall of Fame Grant is administered by the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services (ADVS), a state-level agency dedicated to supporting and advocating for veterans and their families across Arizona. ADVS provides a range of services, including benefits assistance, housing support, and recognition programs that honor the service and contributions of veterans. This grant initiative specifically focuses on sustaining and expanding the Arizona Veterans’ Hall of Fame (AZHOF), a program that celebrates veterans who have made significant civic contributions beyond their military service. Through this effort, ADVS seeks to partner with a qualified organization that can enhance the visibility and operational capacity of the Hall of Fame program. The primary purpose of the grant is to establish a collaborative partnership with an Arizona-based organization capable of delivering comprehensive support for the Hall of Fame program. This includes recognizing and honoring veterans who have demonstrated exemplary service to their communities at the local, state, or national level after their military careers. The selected grantee will be responsible for helping ADVS expand outreach efforts, improve program operations, and ensure that deserving veterans are identified, nominated, and celebrated. The program emphasizes not only recognition but also inspiration, highlighting veterans whose contributions serve as a model for civic engagement and leadership. Funding for this opportunity is provided as a single award with a total allocation of 75,000 dollars. The grant is intended to cover activities directly related to the administration, promotion, and execution of the Hall of Fame program. While specific allowable costs are not explicitly detailed, it is implied that funds should support programmatic activities such as outreach, event coordination, nomination processing, and related administrative functions. There is no matching requirement associated with this funding, allowing eligible organizations to participate without needing to secure additional cost-share contributions. Eligibility for the grant is broad and inclusive, encompassing a wide range of entity types including nonprofit organizations, local and state government agencies, Native American tribes, academic institutions, private sector entities, school districts, and consortia. However, ADVS expresses a clear preference for organizations that have an established mission aligned with serving Arizona veterans. Additionally, applicants are encouraged to form partnerships or collaborative arrangements if doing so enhances their ability to deliver meaningful services. The emphasis on collaboration reflects the program’s goal of maximizing impact through coordinated community efforts. The application process requires all submissions to be completed through the Euna (formerly eCivis) grant management portal. Applicants must ensure that their proposals clearly demonstrate their capacity to support the Hall of Fame program and align with ADVS objectives. While specific application components are not outlined in detail, it is expected that proposals will include organizational qualifications, a description of proposed activities, and an explanation of how the partnership will expand the reach and effectiveness of the program. The application window opens on June 26, 2026, and closes on July 31, 2026. Contact for the program is provided through the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services, with Robert Davis serving as the program contact. Applicants may direct inquiries via email to rdavis@azdvs.gov. The application address is listed as 1688 W. Adams St., Phoenix, Arizona, though all submissions must be completed online through the designated portal. No specific timeline for award notification or project performance period is provided, and there is no indication that the grant operates on a recurring cycle. As such, applicants should treat this as a one-time funding opportunity unless otherwise announced in future cycles.
