Opportunity Summary:
The Cemetery grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: VA GRANTS NCA FY2012) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration (NCA). It falls under the Community Development funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 64.203, State Cemetery Grants. The basic purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance to states, U.S. territories, and federally recognized tribal governments so they can establish, expand, or improve veterans cemeteries and related burial infrastructure. The program rules and requirements are implemented through 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 39, which is the governing federal regulation for VA state and tribal veterans cemetery grants.
Eligible applicants are limited to state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with the announcement also indicating support for states and territories. The intent is to help these eligible governments provide burial options for veterans closer to their communities, typically through construction, renovation, or other capital improvements connected to cemetery operations. While the announcement text provided is brief, the program title and CFDA reference indicate that it is part of the VA framework for supporting state and tribal veterans cemeteries, which generally includes developing new cemetery sites and adding capacity or facilities to existing ones.
A key condition of this opportunity is that cost sharing or matching is required. In practice, that means the applicant is expected to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources, consistent with the requirements laid out in 38 CFR Part 39 and the State Cemetery Grants program guidance. The award floor is listed as 0, meaning there is no stated minimum award amount in the notice, and the award ceiling is listed as 46,000,000, which also matches the estimated total program funding of 46,000,000 for the cycle. The VA anticipated making about 18 awards under this opportunity.
Important dates listed in the source data include a posted date of July 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2012, and an archive date of July 2, 2012.
