Sponsorship dollars available for veteran-oriented events

IDVA will provide resources to help advertise an event and would like the opportunity to attend to promote veteran benefits alongside the statewide network of county veteran service officers. 

The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) is now accepting applications for its 2024 Event Sponsorship Program. 

The IDVA Event Sponsorship Program is dedicated to providing sponsorship dollars for veteran-oriented events across the state. It provides up to $500 in sponsorship money for an event the applicant is hosting. The goal is to provide funds to ensure a local nonprofit can host their event or to enable them to enhance their event. The organization must have an established plan, committee and mission, one that focuses on bringing services, resources and/or benefits to Indiana’s veteran community.

IDVA will provide resources to help advertise the event and would like to have the opportunity to attend the event to promote state and federal veteran benefits and the statewide network of county veteran service officers.

Any nonprofit can apply for the program. The specific event associated with the application must be honoring or celebrating the Indiana veteran community.

Only one application for the full amount of $500 per fiscal year, per organization will be considered. Current fiscal year is July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
