  • Mental Health

  • Affordable Housing

Priority will be given to mental health organizations with operating budgets under $1M and affordable housing organizations with operating budgets under $3M.

"At Veterans Community Project, we like to say that community is our middle name for a reason. It's communities like the Local Change Foundation and the credit union’s incredible members that make our work possible and help us to ensure that every veteran in our community has a place to turn when they're in need."  - Jennifer Seybold of Veterans Community Project
