Disaster Relief and Special Needs Grants for Veterans
Distance-learning Support Grant for Families

We want to help you take advantage of the special appropriation the Minnesota State Legislature voted to funded to assist Veterans and their families who may be financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

There are three programs for eligible MN veterans and surviving spouses. We've attached a really useful overview doc for each below. You can ask your Eagle Group coach to walk you through it. Check out the MDVA website for more info, or contact your county CVSO for help filing an application. Here's a link to find your local CVSO.
