GrantWatch Celebrates the National Guard with 11 Grants
The National Guard first came into existence on Dec. 13, 1636, in Massachusetts. Every year, the nation celebrates the birth of this state-based military force and all the good work it does. It is composed of everyday people, most of whom hold down full-time, civilian jobs. Members of the national work one weekend every month. In addition, they dedicate two full weeks each year for the National Guard. They can also be deployed in times of emergencies or natural disasters to provide assistance and support.
GrantWatch is celebrating the more than 443,000 active members of the National Guard with grants for Homeland and National Security! Explore funding opportunities that support emergency response providers, members of the coast guard, military personnel, and law enforcement. These grants and many others help strengthen programs that keep our communities and country safe.
