Open federal opportunities addressing veterans organizations (nonprofit-eligible)

Federal opportunities are listed nationally: a nonprofit in Florida can apply to any of them, so this table is not filtered by state.

Matched against the full synopsis text of every posted opportunity, not the listing title alone; restricted to opportunities open to nonprofit applicants. Federal programs rarely use the phrase "veterans"; this table also matches the agency vocabulary: veteran, servicemember, military families.
