    Shapiro Administration Announces Grant Awards Made Through DMVA’s Veterans’ Trust Fund Program

    The Shapiro Administration has awarded more than $1 million in grants through the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs’ (DMVA) Veterans’ Trust Fund (VTF). The funding, raised through donations, will support 15 county directors of veterans affairs and 24 nonprofits and veterans service organizations across the commonwealth as they carry out initiatives to address challenges Pennsylvania veterans face, from food and housing insecurity to transportation and behavioral health issues.

    The DMVA is proud that 100 percent of each dollar donated to VTF goes directly to fund these grants. Donations can be made directly online, as well as when applying for or renewing a driver’s license, photo ID, or motor vehicle registration. The VTF also receives proceeds from the sale of the Honoring Our Veterans and Honoring Our Women Veterans license plates, as well as private donations.
