Opportunity Information: Apply for VA FOX SP FY2024
The Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (SSG Fox SPGP) is a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen community-based efforts to prevent suicide among Veterans and to support their families. The core idea is to put more resources into local, on-the-ground prevention work such as proactive outreach, suicide prevention services, and practical pathways that connect Veterans to both VA programs and non-VA community resources. The program is administered by the VA Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention and aligns with the VA National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide (2018), which emphasizes a public health approach that combines broad community prevention strategies with evidence-based clinical care.
A key administrative detail is that applications are not submitted through Grants.gov. Proposals must be submitted through the VA Grants Management System, using the VA program page at https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/ssgfox-grants/. This is an important compliance point for applicants because submitting through the wrong portal can prevent an application from being considered.
This opportunity stems from federal legislation intended to improve Veterans mental health services nationwide. Specifically, it is part of the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019, which was signed into law on October 17, 2020. In practice, that legislative foundation underscores the VA's intent to expand suicide prevention capacity beyond clinical settings alone, recognizing that many at-risk individuals are more likely to interact first with community organizations, local government services, schools, employers, or other civic and health system touchpoints.
Eligible applicants are broad and include a mix of nonprofit, tribal, education, and government entities that can demonstrate the ability to reach Veterans and coordinate care or referrals effectively. Examples of eligible entities include incorporated nonprofit private institutions or foundations with a governing board (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), corporations that are wholly owned or controlled by a nonprofit organization with a governing board, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, community-based organizations with strong local networking capacity (especially those connected to civic groups and regional health systems), and state or local government entities such as counties or municipalities. The source listing also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with other eligible applicants as specified by the program.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number "VA FOX SP FY2024" under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 64.055. The award ceiling is listed at $750,000, and the VA anticipated making around 80 awards under this cycle. The original closing date for applications was April 26, 2024, and the opportunity record indicates a creation date of January 26, 2024.
Overall, the program is best understood as a way for the VA to invest in community capacity to identify Veterans at risk, engage them earlier, provide prevention-focused supports, and create reliable connections into appropriate services. It is explicitly structured to encourage community-level prevention ecosystems that work alongside clinical strategies, rather than relying only on healthcare settings to identify and respond to suicide risk.Apply for VA FOX SP FY2024
