Overview

The Overwatch Alliance grant program is designed to assist small, community-based organizations that offer substantial support to military members, veterans, and their families. This support can take various forms, including emergency financial assistance, transitional housing for homeless veterans, employment aid for those transitioning to civilian life, and programs aimed at physical and mental rehabilitation. The grant also supports recreational, retreat, and enrichment programs that benefit military spouses, families, and dependent children. The goal is to make a significant, enduring impact on the lives of those who have served and their communities, with funding opportunities up to $15,000 for organizations demonstrating their effectiveness in these areas.
