Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Cemetery" (Funding Opportunity Number VA GRANTS 06302011 001), is offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), National Cemetery Administration, under CFDA 64.203 (State Cemetery Grants). The program is designed to help eligible governments fund projects that establish new veterans cemeteries, expand existing ones, or make improvements to state owned and operated veterans cemeteries. In practical terms, the grant supports capital and infrastructure work that increases burial capacity, enhances facilities, or upgrades a cemetery so it can better serve veterans and eligible family members.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it can fund up to 100 percent of qualifying project costs, which can significantly reduce the financial burden on the applicant. At the same time, the listing indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared for the possibility that some form of match may be required depending on project specifics and VA program rules. The total estimated funding available is $46,000,000, with an expected 10 awards. The award ceiling is listed as $46,000,000 and the award floor as $0, which suggests award sizes may vary widely based on project scope, readiness, and the VA's funding decisions.
Eligible applicants include state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments; the program description also references states, territories, and federally recognized tribal governments as intended recipients. The funding activity category is Community Development, reflecting the public infrastructure nature of cemetery development and improvement projects and the broader community service role these cemeteries provide.
The opportunity was posted on July 2, 2010, created on June 16, 2010, and had an application closing date of July 1, 2011 (original and current closing dates align). The archive date is July 31, 2011, indicating the announcement is no longer active after that date, but the program itself (State Cemetery Grants) may continue under updated solicitations and guidance.
For official program details and updates, applicants were directed to the State Cemetery Grants Website. For help accessing the full announcement or related materials, the listed contact was Tom Garin, VA Grants Management Coordinator, at 202-461-5819.
