The Minnesota Department of Administration requests proposals for Veterans memorials and commemorations to be awarded for groups celebrating, recognizing, and honoring the sacrifices of those who served in the military, including memorials, commemorations, facilities, and park features.

A total of $102,375 in Fiscal Year 2025 is dedicated for this competitive grant program. Grant applications are due 4:30 pm Central Time on January 24, 2025.  For more info, see the Office of Grants Management’s website (OGM) and the RFP document.

Additionally, the Office of Grants Management is seeking veterans or individuals with experience in developing Veterans memorials and commemorations to participate in our grantmaking process by serving as community reviewers who will read and evaluate grant proposals. A small stipend is available, and all work will be done remotely. Grant review is scheduled to begin in February 2025.
